Do We Still Need VPN to Access Our Data If IP ServerOne Manages Our Data Storage?
✅ Short Answer:
It depends on the specific product or service you are using with IP ServerOne.
While VPN access is not always required, there are cases where it is highly recommended or even necessary for secure remote access, especially when handling sensitive or internal business data.
🔐 When VPN Is Needed
- You are using dedicated servers, private cloud, or custom storage solutions that are hosted in a non-public-facing network.
- You want added security to protect access to backend systems or storage interfaces.
- Your organization has compliance requirements for encrypted access channels.
- You have set up access control policies that only allow internal IPs or specific networks to reach the storage system.
🌐 When VPN Is Not Needed
- You’re using public cloud storage, web hosting, or email services where access is available over secure HTTPS protocols.
- You’ve configured secure remote access via SSH, SFTP, or web-based dashboards.
- You’re storing non-sensitive or publicly accessible data.
👨💼 Best Practice
Even if VPN is optional, we strongly recommend using VPN or other secure channels when:
- Managing or accessing customer information
- Performing administrative tasks
- Accessing the system from public networks
⚠️ Important Note: Always consult with our support team or your account manager to confirm whether VPN is required for your specific solution. Configuration may vary depending on the product tier or custom deployment.
