- VPN
- There has been two requests recently for remote access to SKTW network (access spacefiles, rpi or IoT here, etc)
- Currently we have a openvpn-as server running for admin purposes. If we license it we can give out access to the membership. ~$20 per user/year with a minimum of 10 user purchase. The suggestion is to charge members $20/year for VPN access to SKTW network.
- Taylor suggested we table this for the time being and put up a sign up sheet to see what the interest would be.
- Al motioned to accept Taylor's suggestion, was seconded and accepted unanimously
- Al motioned to accept Andrew be allowed to give out/monitor/police logins for the VPN in the meantime, seconded and accepted unanimously
