[Qgis-user] Service Ticket #353317 - GIS work on VPN - Archae-Aus

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Virag,

This depends a bit on the data sources used in the project (files vs 
databases vs web services).

But in general, VPN connections with a high latency are not recommended 
and will result in really bad user experience. QGIS does a lot if I/O 
when opening layers and working with databases. A low latency in your 
network is crucial for having a good user experience.

If you run into such issues, I recommend using a remote desktop solution 
(such as RDP, Citrix) and make sure that the QGIS desktop application 
runs in the same local network like your database / data source - so 
that the latency between QGIS desktop and your data sources is 
minimized.

BTW: other GIS will have the same issue. For example ESRI ArcGIS desktop 
wouldn't perform well in such a situation.

Greetings,

Andreas
