Question

We have a set of servers hosted at a tier-1 provider, and they are currently behind a VPN running on a gateway machine and not accessible to the open internet. Due to VPN instability issues we've been having, we're looking at other options. Can someone provide ideas on how we can maintain protection at the network level -- people attacking the OS, the web server, the web framework, etc. Please note that we have users in various physical locations without static IP addresses that need to access this via both office and home internet service. Thank you! -Ron

Explanation / Answer

Get a better VPN. You don't say specifically what you are trying to do, but if a VPN is needed, then a VPN is needed. VPN isn't a particular solution, it is a class of solution. It is designed to make a secure, private network over an open network. You can use any of a number of different types of VPNs to implement that functionality.

If you don't actually need a full VPN functionality, you will have to give more details about what you actually need to be able to do.
