I have an office which has most of their staff working from home. The relied on the Web UC Suite when working within the office but now that they are at home it obviously doesn't work. I'm thinking my options are either a software/hardware VPN. Any other ideas?
Their IT people thought they could do some port forwarding which works but you have to manually refresh the page to update user status.

They took their IP phones home as we set them up using the NAPT feature which has worked out great.

We use it remotely and have zero issues with refresh. Simple port forward.

Care to share your setup? Using port 443 with self signed certificate or using a custom port like 8080 and http:? How do you block the Admin functions from being accessed via /admin?
