[Openvpn-users] OT: Corporate VPN policy

Hi everyone.

I have a wildly off-topic question, so please feel to address your replies to me off-list, if you'd prefer.

We've been using OpenVPN for some time now to (obviously) provide remote access to our office for several employees. Management is constantly struggling with how to provide access to those who need it, while simultaneously protecting our trade secrets. The fear is that a user will take their system (desktop or laptop) into a competitor, connect via VPN, and show them a lot of stuff we'd prefer they not see.

How are others mitigating this concern? The best we've been able to come up with so far is to provide static IPs to our remote users, and restrict incoming VPN connections to those static IPs.

I'd love to hear how others have tackled this.

Thanks!
Scott
