How does a VPN interact with regular internet access?<br />

Does the VPN force all traffic to the other site?<br />

How does a VPN interact with regular internet access?

Does the VPN force all traffic to the other site?

P.S. Do you have some recommendations for equipment.  They have unmanaged switches and simple routers.

Good Morning,<br />
<br />
I have a client with two offices a few miles apart. &nbsp;At each office, they have a server (Win 2K3) which is used for file storage. &nbsp;They would like to be able to access files from either server, at either office.<br />
<br />
They have high-speed cable internet at both locations.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to determine an appropriate solution for this situation, but am running empty on solutions that are economical.<br />

Best Method to Share Files at Two Offices

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
