Using a VPN is best practice

A virtual private network (VPN) is the most common tool for employee remote access. It securely connects your computer at home to your organisation. And using it will feel just like being in the office. This means all day-to-day activities you do at home will appear within your organisation. Keep in mind your web browsing, music streaming, and video streaming will pass through your organisation’s network.

You should also consider the amount of data going into your organisation’s network. If you’re running a streaming service, it could affect the performance of other employees, leading to slower access to documents and information, or their VPN being disconnected. That, in turn, could lead to data loss and overall frustration.
