Sure, as long as the VPN itself is secure. Strong passwords/keys, etc. A VPN itself can be a potential security risk, as if it’s compromised an attacker can tunnel traffic directly into a network straight past a firewall.
The risks can definitely be mitigated, but if someone’s asking for an ELI5 on KVMs, then it may be best to stay away until they have a better understanding of IT infrastructure altogether.
ELI5:
It lets you remotely control a computer.
It’s different (arguably better) than remote connection software because it is a separate device that basically just forwards your keyboard & mouse inputs. This means that you can control the remote device even if it’s powered off or not able to boot properly, and you can configure the BIOS remotely too.
You could call someone on-site to connect the KVM to a server, but KVMs, while expensive by regular person standards, are pretty cheap as enterprise hardware goes. So some organizations just keep separate KVMs plugged into all critical hardware all the time.
Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite high security risk.
Their website is probably light on details because “KVM” is fairly common industry parlance. If you normally work with this stuff then just hearing those 3 letters tells you most of what you need to know.
Edit: high, not Hugh
Biden is, once again, considering doing something. He won’t, but he’s thinking about it, and really isn’t it the thought that counts?
Correctly identifying a problem while doing nothing that could possibly change it.
That’s Joe’s legacy, I guess
Oh, good.
Can’t wait to see what dirtbag the GOP finds to replace him
Just piss on rep. Mace’s desk instead. Problem solved.
AFAIK he always claimed to be a centrist until a few days ago. I don’t think he exactly endorsed Bernie, but he’s said very nice things about him and his policies.
… women forcing their way into women only spaces is misogynist.
Smh. You’re not even denying that they’re women, you just don’t like them
Old racist votes for old racist.
More at 9.
If this is what it takes to sink Trump’s ship then I’ll fully give up on ever making sense of anything ever again.
Don’t get me wrong, that shit show was a national embarrassment, but it wasn’t surprising.
Whatever. Vote, folks.
Idk, it’s been a looong time since I listened to his show, but I always got the impression that a good performance there just meant smoking a bowl and telling some crude jokes… I think she’ll come across as presidential, which is exactly what that audience doesn’t want
They should try telling their franchisees that…
Probably pooped his pants lol
I won’t lose any sleep over it. Thinking about spraypainting trump on some old pallet wood and selling them on etsy as ‘patriot planks’ for $150 a piece.
Fwiw, I don’t think the knife is directly affiliated with Trump; I think they just bought the ad space. I could be wrong though.
Also, that’s not a combat knife. Thats a cheap no-name pocket knife.
Aaaaaand this pales in comparison to all the firearms you can find with Trump’s face engraved on them.
So the Republicans get a lot of fast food from a lot of places, while the Democrats seem to avoid major chains altogether, and when they do get fast food they go for restaurants that (in my opinion) are the most extremely overpriced and worst value (chipotle, panera).
The Republicans also seem to have a particular fixation in chick fil a, which is not surprising given that they campaign more in the south, CFA is typically a bit cheaper than other fast food, and it’s not maligned by Republicans like it still is by many progressives.
It’s about catering for political campaign events.
Are black Americans more likely to be crypto bros? First I’m hearing of it
I mean, yeah. But so has every other defense secretary ever, so…
