” When a user works remotely, if they are on a guest network and they are accessing their Virtual Private Network (VPN), a tunnel provides security for them. If they are just working on the guest network without a VPN, then their traffic is not safe. Someone could sniff out the information being sent over the wire. It would be recommended to not do anything highly important on the guest network, such as banking or trading personal information” – Aaron McGowanto

be “a common practice among people working remote is to use a remote desktop tool to access things such as their printers. VPN is for accessing network and remote desktop is for access your work computer. It acts like a remote control that you use to control your work desktop from a machine at home or in another location. This is a secure practice to perform on known networks you are familiar with.” -Dennis Scoleri
