Title: VPN
Post by: JohnH on Dec 12, 2007, 21:45:02: A couple of questions:

Does IDNet support VPN in all its packages?

In IDNet-land, do such things still exist as a fixed 2MB connection for folk like me who have a nice stable and fast connection and yet live 6kms from the exchange?

Thanks for your time.

Because idnet do not block or restrict any ports, vpn should work fine. There is indeed several member here who use it.

In answer to your second question, yes you can still get a 2mb fixed line!

While that's happening, SWMBO is "listening again" on the laptop and I'm reading the forum on my desktop.

BUlletproof. This was not remotely possible via either 186K or Eclipse.

Sure, any time you want your VPN advised just call! :laugh:

Always happy to help but you might find that I'm better using them than making them!
