Re: need to work on program at home aswell as work

Hi tommytowbar,

There are various ways of achieving this.

The preferred method would be to setup a VPN connection between your home and work networks. This would require some setting up and would involve either a full Microsoft Server setup or two routers that support VPN gateways. There is some third party software that can also setup a VPN.

The other method would be to use a RDP / VNC (remote desktop) programme that would allow you to take control of your work computer from home.

This is easy, just install teamviewer on main PC/Server at work in VPN mode and connect to it from home again using team viewer in VPN mode. Once connected just open Easify as normal on the laptop/PC.

Hope this helps, KLK.

There are quite a few remote desktop apps out there such as LogMeIn, Goto PC, ISL Light and Crossloop. or if you have a professional version of Windows you can remote desktop straight to your PC if you have the RDP firewall ports open.

It is possible to change the location of the Easify database if you need to do this let us know and we can talk you through it.

If you want to run the Easify client on a computer at home and have it connect to the database on a computer at work, you will need to have a VPN established.

Easify will work fine over a VPN (though it will only be as quick as the upload speed of the internet connection at work.).

Re: need to work on program at home aswell as work

Hi Andy, we're not familiar with TeamViewer VPN so we can't help you on that one. Hopefully though someone else can chip in here and offer you some advice on it?

Alternatively you should be able to setup a VPN connection directly to your router at work if it supports it. What make and model of router do you have at work?

Hi Andy

As my previous post, I use Teamviewer to connect to my work PC/Server where the Easify database is stored. Just configure Teamviewer correctly as a VPN connection, there is a checkbox to allow this, make sure that Teamviewer is running on this permanently. On the home PC/Laptop open Teamviewer, again make sure the VPN checkbox is ticked. Once you are logged on just minimize Teamviewer and open Easify as normal. Works great all the time.

Hope this helps, KLK.
