You can use two factor authentication with your UK VPN connection. Two factor authentication is stronger than single factor authentication. Instead of requiring just a user name and password to connect, your users will also need the second form of authentication, which is something they will possess. There are different methods which you can use for 2FA, such as using digital certificates contained on each user’s computer, smart cards, or USB tokens.
A UK VPN Is a Special Type of Virtual Private Network Connection
You are probably familiar with the term VPN, which is short for virtual private network. A VPN is a secure connection used by employees when they are away from the office. After establishing a connection to your VPN, employees are able to access network resources, just like they were plugged into a network cable, sitting in their office. One special type of VPN connection used in the United Kingdom is called UK VPN. This type of connection is required to access any type of network resources, situated within the United Kingdom.
