Can I access Lotus Notes from home?

Remote Access for Lotus Notes Clients

• What is the best way to set up Lotus Notes for remote users - do I have to use VPN (PPTP) or is there a way I can use SSL and not have to configure VPN servers?

• Answer:

  Hello jcb, Thanks for using GA. I've found many options of accessing Lotus Notes remotely. Out of the available options, what I've found is that access via internet seems to be more popular with least price involvement. VPN and Remote Access Service are also one of the other options. Check this page ( http://www.charlton.com/services/remote_access.html ) to find out the available methods for remote access. According to them, they can setup the remote access for Lotus applications as given here ( http://www.charlton.com/services/lotus_notes.html ).
