We allow users to VPN from home and from personal machines, but only after they've read our Remote Access Standard and 
signed a VPN agreement.  I'd attach copies of these documents, but I cringe at the thought of sending an attachment 
(even a small one) to a list of any decent size.

Hello,

I have a quick question in regards to VPN, and was hoping others would comment on how they are currently offering their 
VPN services.

Do you allow all administration/faculty to remote in via home ?
Do you allow the same users use their personal PC's ?

What pros/cons have you encountered ?

Thank you for your time.
