Important info for using the VPN.

When you are at home, we are keen for you to minimise using the VPN as we are hitting some capacity limits.

We'd like to ask two things of you:

1. Know when you need to use the VPN

Most team members do require access to the VPN but do not need to be connected for the whole day.

Things that don't need you to connect to the VPN include:

• Winning Group Chrome Extension (predominantly for AOL Engine Room)
• CRM
• Performance portal
• Heelix
• Gmail
• Deputy
• Cloud Payroll
• Google Drive
• Google Calendar
• etc.

Here is a list of systems which require VPN:

• Winning Web
• Sales Portal
• Project Zero
• Locality Manager
• Navision (via remote desktop)
• Scale (via remote desktop)

If you do use any of the above systems which require VPN, please only connect and disconnect when required. Your overall internet speed will be faster when you are not connected to the VPN.

If you don't know how to connect/disconnect from the VPN, please use the guide at the top of this page or please email helpdesk@winning.com.au to ask and just let them know if you have a Microsoft Windows laptop or a Google Chromebook.

2. If you are connected to the VPN, please minimise apps which download a lot of data

When you're connected to the VPN, it's important to note that all data, including Spotify, Youtube, Netflix actually goes through the Winning Group's network/internet connection.
