Pulse as a VPN System

Pulse makes a very nice VPN client, which I knew, but haven’t previously mentioned or seriously tried working with yet.

I was doing some work at home today, and my heart sank when I realized I was going to have to transfer several files to our corporate gateway and then scp them to one of our internal file systems.

Suddenly, I realized how short-sighted that was: I turned off my airport connection, and connected to our corporate Pulse proxy. After that I was able to securely transfer the files directly to the internal file server with no intermediate steps.

Nice.
