Host News – Jersey City, NJ - In today’s globalized business environment, it often isn’t convenient to house documents and files on just one PC. Some need constant editing by multiple workers, some require collaboration between peers separated by anywhere from five feet to five thousand miles. Comodo is pleased to announce the release of EasyVPN for commercial use, software to make any business run smoother. EasyVPN is a way for users and businesses to simulate local LAN connections through the Web, using a Virtual Private Network. For a limited time, commercial users of EasyVPN will be offered discount prices when purchasing multiple annual licenses.

EasyVPN installs with just a few easy clicks. After installation, a few more clicks will easily create a network that friends and coworkers can join. Anyone who joins this network can then request other members to allow remote access to their PCs. Once that access is allowed, all members of a network will be able to easily and securely share the contents of their computers with each other. Comodo uses the industry standard of 128-bit encryption to ensure that outsiders can’t spy on a private network. Continue reading “Comodo EasyVPN Helps Businesses Both Local and Global” »
