The RemoteVPN is a service offered by Contemporary Controls that allows systems integrators remote access to systems from the convenience of the systems integrator's home or office. A cloud-based VPN server hosted by Contemporary Controls provides the critical connection between two VPN clients-one installed on the systems integrator's PC and the other permanently installed on Contemporary Controls' VPN router located at the remote location. Using this approach, two secure VPN tunnels are created with no concern for intervening firewalls. RemoteVPN is based on OpenVPN®, a well supported open-source VPN technology. In addition to OpenVPN PC clients for Windows machines, OpenVPN clients are available for iOS and Android mobile devices for greater flexibility in accessing sites remotely.
The use of RemoteVPN service, along with the EIPR / EIGR VPN routers, eliminates the need for a Static Public IP address providing considerable saving. Multiple Port Forwarding entries setup is also eliminated and the masquerade feature allows access to devices where it is not possible to change the Gateway IP address—either because the setting is used for a separate subnet or is missing on older devices. All the traffic is tunneled through the VPN over a single port and is encrypted.
