New Apple iOS updates stop remote workers from working
A recent update for Apple iOS powered phones and tablets is preventing the use of self-signed SSL certificates and disables certain types of VPN pass-through.
Any business who is running their own email server using a self-signed SSL certificate AND who uses Apple phones or tablets to access their email will be affected by this. It has been common practice in smaller businesses to use self-signed SSL certificates on their email servers, and up until now it has not caused any problems, that has now changed. If you are currently using a self-signed certificate it must be upgraded if you want to continue using your iOS device to check your emails.
A second, less common problem that has emerged from these iOS updates is that a certain type of VPN traffic known as PPtP will no longer work when using your iOS device as a mobile hotspot. We are currently investigating workarounds for this problem and expect to have solutions by the end of this week.

My business has grown from 3 stores to 5 stores over the last 3 years; one of the unfortunate consequences of this has been the fact that our old server and network could not cope with the growth. After much deliberation we chose Australia Wide I.T. to not only arrange the supply and installation of our new network, but to also provide long term support. We have been very pleased with our decision and would happily recommend them.

Our previous I.T. Service Provider was distant, hard to contact and not customer focused. With Australia Wide I.T. we now have great service with a human touch. Our calls are answered promptly and the team is always ready to help in any way.
The maintenance program put in place by AWIT offers us peace of mind that our entire system is correctly and closely monitored.

A massive shout out to the Nash though for fixing our printer – you nailed it Nash and not only changed MY life, but also helped to save some trees in the Amazon Forest!

Thank you. It is refreshing to know that when a problem occurs, you are always there – with great service.
