Connecting to the Ada County VPN (Virtual Private Network)

 

 

In an effort to providing better service Ada County has implemented a new remote access method called VPN (Virtual Private Network). VPN service allows remote connectivity to the Ada County Extranet at much higher speeds than a regular dialup connection.

Using the internet an end user can connect to the Ada County by using their Cable Modem, DSL or Wireless.

Ada County simply provides a connectivity option. Each end user needs to have an already established internet connection.
