Why Your Clients Should Ditch the VPN for File Access

VPNs Were Great in 2005. In 2025? Not So Much.

For years, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) were the go-to method for remote staff to access office files. They created a secure tunnel into the company network — a necessity in the early days of remote work.


But times have changed. Today’s businesses operate in hybrid and multi-location environments where speed, security, and simplicity matter more than ever. VPNs are struggling to keep up.


The VPN Problem for End Users

  • Slow Speeds: Painful file load times for remote teams.

  • Unreliable Connections: Frequent dropouts and reconnection hassles.

  • Security

    Risks: Always-on tunnels create potential vulnerabilities.

  • High Support Overheads: IT teams spend hours fixing VPN-related issues.


For MSPs, resellers, and IT providers, that means more support calls, more unhappy clients, and less time to focus on growth


The Modern Alternative: UFS Connect

UFS Connect delivers secure, high-performance file access without a VPN — and Cloud Ready Solutions makes it available to partners across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.
