We have remote VPN through a Cisco firewall. &nbsp;It works fine for most users. &nbsp;It’s a little slow of course. &nbsp;However, we have one user who remotes in to troubleshoot issues with PLC’s (this is a manufacturing facility). &nbsp;He has a hard time staying connected to the PLCs. &nbsp;Otherwise, his VPN works fine. &nbsp;Are there special considerations for VPN when remoting to PLCs?

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.
