12.9.4.4 REMOTE CONNECTIONS VIA VPN TUNNEL
The iPerTAlk telephone system features a VPN tunnel management system (of OPENVPN type) for the connection
of remote offices, both in case of several offices with iPerTAlk system and in case of offices with remote telephones
only.
Such VPN tunnels are provided in order to simplify the interconnection between remote offices, without the need
of complex configurations of data network and routers, and to make it safer to communicate through the Internet
network.
Every iPerTAlk system allows setting a VPN server (for the main office) or a VPN client (for off-centre offices), that
are fully configurable from the system’s configuration web interface (including the generation of certificates).
Both services do not require additional enabling licences, but are already included in every iPerTAlk system by
default.
