Remote workers into the office network
Staff working from home or on the road can reach the office file server, printer or accounting machine as if they were at their desk, without opening any port on the office's address.
How it works
You add a worker in the portal. Their laptop makes its own key, and only the public half is sent to us; the private key never leaves the laptop. The laptop gets a small WireGuard setup file and connects to the office through TunnelNet.
It works on UniFi gateways with our agent today. A worker reaches one office's network.
What we measured, in our lab
- After a worker was added in the portal, the office router had them about 34 seconds later, and the laptop reached the office network.
- After a worker was removed, the router dropped them about 34 seconds later.
Good habits
- One worker per person and device, so you can remove one without touching the rest.
- Remove a worker the day they leave, or when a laptop is lost.
- Prefer this to opening ports for staff: nothing at the office is exposed to the internet.
Remote workers is new. We're trying it on our own sites now. Questions: support@minakilabs.com.
