Working with Secure Desktop
Now you have set up your Secure Desktop with the applications and file serv-
ers you need, you’re ready to get to work.
Starting a Secure Desktop Session
Click one of the icons on your Secure Desktop to start working with that ap-
plication, file server or website. VPN Tracker will automatically connect any
necessary VPN connections, and then open your application, connect to your
file server, website, or whatever else you have requested to be done.
Ending a Secure Desktop Session
Once you’re done working over VPN, simply end your session by clicking the
large red button at the bottom of the window. VPN Tracker will take care of
disconnecting file servers and disconnecting your VPN connections.
You can also use Secure Desktop while you are in your VPN’s re-
mote network (e.g. at the office). Refer to
to learn how to teach VPN Tracker not to connect your VPN there.
Editing Your Secure Desktop
You can easily add, modify or remove Secure Desktop items.
To edit your Secure Desktop:
‣ Make sure the Secure Desktop you would like to edit is selected.
‣ Click the triangle at the bottom of the Secure Desktop to switch to edit
mode
‣ A drawer with new items will open. Drag an item to your Secure Desktop to
add it. Or drag an existing item off your Secure Desktop to remove it.
To modify an item in edit mode,
simply click it. You can then change
the VPN connection that is required
for this item to work, or change
what the item does. If it’s an appli-
cation, you can also choose to quit
this application automatically when
you end your Secure Desktop ses-
sion.
Once you have finished configuring your Secure Desktop, click the triangle
again to leave the edit mode.
