Perhaps, but I’d say it’s quite hard to do this effectively when you’re using sass products. Even if you’re self hosting, and have dozens or hundreds of WFH employees, what’s the alternative?
No access for anyone while you scale your VPN? Just wait while everyone pulls and pushes gigs of data over the VPN to perforce, you didn’t need that video meeting after all?
You’ll get a big fat nope to that when you try to do it; this is a pretty tough challenge you’re trivialising here.
Google “zero trust” as an alternative; clearly they didn’t do that properly either, but I can at least understand why they didn’t just demand everyone use a VPN.
Trivial VPN use cases like people who d/l source code and have then occasional 5 person video meeting and this use case are not the same thing.
- yakubin 6y agoI've worked at two companies so far and at both SaaS things like mail, chat, videoconferencing were accessible without a VPN, but git repos, CI, development servers, basically anything self-hosted is behind a VPN. So you won't stream video for your video calls over the VPN, but the source code, logs, builds, etc. are protected by VPN.
