Is there a way to connect to my office server besides VPN?
Sometimes I work from home, and use a VPN connection to connect to the files on the server at the office. However performance is slow with the connection active. I checked Speedtest.net, and when VPN is connected, Speedtest sees my IP address as the static IP we use at work. Performance is pretty slow downloading, 6 to 7 Mbps, and 5-6 Mbps uploading.
As soon as I disconnect from the VPN, my download speed more then quintuples to 32 Mbps down, and upload is still in the 5-6 range.
Is there any other way I can connect to the server in my office besides using a VPN, or some other way I can configure the VPN connection so it doesn't get so slow?
As an aside, when I'm at the office on my workstation and check Speedtest from within the office, speeds are usually in the 25-35 range down, and 5+ up.
