What you'll do

Many of the machines that we access we do remotely.

  • This means that there needs to be a way to access the machine over the network.
  • Depending on who needs to access it and from where, it may need to be visible and potentially accessible to people who should not have access.
  • There is always a balance between accessibility and security.
  • In this lab, we will cover two major ways of giving remote access - SSH and VPN.
