VPN SETUP PLYMOUTHSSL VPN using secure socket layer to your local network.

AGURU can set up the latest state of the art SECURE VPN, so your remote workers can access your local network as if they are in the office. Users would then use the HTTPS Protocol.

HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (http). Secure means of transferring data using the https protocol in the World Wide Web where secure ecommerce transactions, such as online banking transactions and other transactions, are involved. In other words, https encrypts the session with a digital certificate i.e., HTTP over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which can be used by Web browsers and HTTPS - capable client programs. So, if the website begins with https:// instead of http://, it is a secure site. Almost 99% of the browsers can connect to web servers either using http or https. The address bar in the browser will begin with https instead of http, if a web site is secured. Web browsers like IE, Firefox etc., display a pad ”lock” icon to indicate the website is secure, which also displays https in the address bar. This padlock icon is displayed only when an SSL certificate is installed by their web server. If the padlock icon and the web link begin with HTTPS Protocol work with the combination of programs including the browser programs which takes care of the encryption/decryption routines that exist on the web hosting servers. Typically, HTTP data is sent over TCP/IP port 80, whereas SSL HTTP data is sent over port 443.
