Overview
VPN and Remote Access Solutions from OneAccess help organisations give staff, administrators, vendors, and branch users secure access without opening unnecessary risk. Remote access is now part of normal business operations, but many environments still rely on shared accounts, broad network access, weak logging, or VPN rules that were never reviewed after emergency deployment. We help rebuild remote access around identity, policy, segmentation, and supportable operations.
Where this helps
The work begins with an access assessment. We identify who needs access, from where, to which applications, and for what purpose. A finance user, external software vendor, network administrator, and branch office should not all receive the same level of access. We review firewall capabilities, directory services, MFA options, endpoint requirements, DNS, routing, split tunneling, logging, and user support needs before recommending a design.
What OneAccess delivers
Implementation may include SSL VPN, IPsec site-to-site VPN, user groups, MFA integration, firewall policies, restricted access to specific networks or services, vendor access windows, admin logging, and user documentation. Where appropriate, we also discuss alternatives such as zero-trust access patterns or application-specific publishing, especially when broad network-level VPN is not the best long-term choice.
Local operating context
For Sri Lankan businesses with hybrid teams, branches, travelling staff, or external support partners, the goal is to keep work moving while reducing exposure. OneAccess focuses on remote access that users can follow, administrators can monitor, and managers can trust.

Who this service is for
Remote access often starts as an urgent workaround and then becomes permanent risk. This service rebuilds VPN and remote access around identity, least privilege, routing, logging, and user support.
- Hybrid teams that need access to office systems from outside the office
- Businesses with vendors or administrators who need restricted remote access
- Branch offices that need controlled connectivity to central systems
Outcomes to expect
- Defined access groups for staff, administrators, vendors, and branches
- Reduced exposure from shared accounts or overly broad network access
- Clear user instructions and administrator notes for ongoing support
What is included
Access assessment
Identify who needs remote access, which systems they need, and what risk controls are required.
VPN implementation
Configure SSL VPN, IPsec VPN, split tunneling, MFA, DNS, routing, and endpoint guidance where suitable.
Policy control
Limit access by user role, service, network segment, device posture, and administrative need.
Monitoring and review

Why teams choose this
- Safer remote work access
- Reduced exposure of internal systems
- Better control for vendors and admins
- Support for branches and hybrid teams
- Clear VPN documentation
- Practical MFA and policy guidance

Scope notes
Remote access security depends on the firewall or gateway platform, licence status, identity source, endpoint trust, internet stability, and user process. Broad access for convenience is not recommended without documented risk acceptance.
Common questions
Should every user get full network VPN access?
No. Access should match the user role and business need. Many users only need specific systems, not broad access to every network segment.
Can vendors receive temporary access?
Yes, if the platform supports suitable controls. Vendor access should be time-bound, logged, and restricted to the systems they need.
Is split tunneling always better?
Not always. Split tunneling can improve performance and reduce bandwidth use, but security, logging, and compliance requirements may require a different design.
