How is WebEx PCNow different from VPN?
The key differences between WebEx PCNow and VPN are: • VPN often needs software to be installed and maintained by a company’s network admin – this is costly to buy and set up. • Firewalls on the remote LAN must be configured accordingly to accept VPN connections. With WebEx PCNow, no special configurations are required since the application is firewall friendly.. • VPN only gives the local computer a connection to the remote LAN, but does not connect the user directly to the remote computer. • Performance is typically poor for VPN access to resources over the remote LAN when attempting to transfer files or access remote files directly. • WebEx PCNow configures itself for remote access. VPN client software must be configured manually by the end user, and usually requires setup options unique to the remote network.
