Point-to-site connection

The VPN appliance enables connection between the cloud recovery site and your local network. In case the local network is down, you need the capability to connect directly to the cloud recovery site. This kind of connection is often referred to as a "point-to-site" (P2S) connection, in contrast to the "site-to-site" (S2S) connection.
