Hi,
we've been using plain SecuRemote and want to step up to SecureClient. Now I come across OfficeMode and don't really understand what it's all about. Ok, I can assign an internal IP address to the client.
yes, and you can assign a DNS and WINs-server. like with DHCP.
IP Pools works with SecuRemote to assign an internal address, too (works fine here) ... I think I recall that it is possible to assign the "internal DNS" server too, but we don't need that right now -- can someone confirm this? Don't know about WINS, we set that manually.
But why?
to know the client's IP-address on the internal systems and to set the DNS to an internal one.
Another example, if you use TCP wrappers on 'nix hosts or other systems to limit access, as a security measure, the internal IP address is allowed access.
no more problems with local nets behind HAT-devices ...

What other advantages do I have with OfficeMode? And on the contrary, are there any drawbacks or caveats when using it?
Thanks for you input!
