Overview
This article describes the procedure to prevent backups over VPN networks for inSync On-Premise deployments.
This procedure is helpful for inSync On-Premise deployments in which backups happen over internal network as inSync Server has only an internal access. Backups can be blocked for users who connect remotely to the network over a VPN.
A VPN software creates an adapter during installation which is used during a VPN connection. This adapter name usually contains the name string of the VPN software provider, such as Fortinet, Cisco, and so on. As this string is a part of the entire string which makes up the complete adapter name.
This procedure restricts inSync from performing backups over the VPN by adding this string under restricted networks.
