I use a multi user billing software that is designed to be installed on a Server then workstations users connect to the system through a mapped network drive. Usually on a LAN.
Since I am unable to obtain any internet higher than Att Uverse 3mbps download 0.5 upload, long story short" we were having problems with customers connecting to our server to access their accounts ( I suspect the low internet speeds) I had to install the software on a Remote Server that has high internet speeds.
Our office is currently connecting to the server to access the software through Remote Desktop (RDT). Although we have a great connection, It is very frustrating especially since only 2 people can connect at once through (RDT), we can't print documents and things tend to get messy. I much prefer to access the software the way it is intended through a mapped network drive.
Can I map a network drive over WAN?
If I use VPN will this cause my software to run slow because of the high security?
Would a shared folder work as a mapped network drive?
Can anyone suggest a solution?
