What I Found
A practical first look at the iTwin Connect, a two-piece USB hardware VPN designed to create an encrypted tunnel.
Setting up a VPN can be useful, but it is not always something people want to configure by hand. The iTwin Connect caught my attention because it takes a different approach: two paired USB devices that are meant to create a private tunnel over the public internet.
The iTwin Connect is a hardware USB VPN system made of two matching halves. One side is intended to stay with a trusted computer, such as your home computer, and the other side goes with you when you are remote.
