Setting up your Secure Desktop

Working over a VPN connection used to be a hassle. First you needed to con-
nect to your VPN. Then you went to Finder in order to connect to your file
servers, and finally, you could open the applications you need and get to
work.

Not any more! VPN Tracker 6 is designed with your workflow in mind: You click
to open the application. VPN Tracker does the rest.

Building your Secure Desktop with the Assistant

To add items to your Secure Desktop, select it from the top left corner of the
VPN Tracker window and then click “Build Secure Desktop”. VPN Tracker will
guide you through selecting applications, file servers and websites for your
Secure Desktop. Of course you can always modify your Secure Desktop later.

Make sure you have set up your VPN connection first. To learn
how to set up your VPN connection, refer to the chapter

→ Get-

ting Connected.

Adding Applications to Your Secure Desktop

The Secure Desktop Assistant will suggest a few commonly used applications.
If your application is not among them, click “Other Application…” to add the
application you want to use.

You can also add applications to your Secure Desktop later, so don’t worry
about them now if you’re not sure.
