How to Run Sage 300 Across a VPN Connection

With many of you moving to work from home, we are getting calls about running Sage 300 across a VPN connection. Please be advised: Sage 300 should never be run across a VPN without Remote Desktop processing or Citrix to provide the service.

You may ask why…since it seems to open and run. Yes, while it will open and run (assuming it can find the shared directory and the SQL server across the VPN), the problem is the stability of the VPN.

Your VPN connection is secure, so people will not be able to read your data as it moves across the Internet. However, it will not provide the stability needed to protect your data from corruption. If you are working from home in these times of COVID-19 – we understand. Contact us today to review how to do your accounting without creating expensive data repair issues.
