VPN client restriction

Hi,

We are considering implementing a VPN solution. But since some users
are remote permanently, that means that installation of the VPN client
will have to be done by themselves or some outsourced IT.

Is there a VPN solution out there that can make sure that either:

1. the VPN client is installed on approved systems or
2. the VPN client checks to see if certain software eg Anti virus are
in a system before allowing installation.

My main reason for this is that I do not want users to install the
software on their home computers and use these for VPN access since we
do not know how secure they are. Let me know if more information is
needed

Thanks for any response.

Adrian

This will never work. You have to trust the people who are installing
your security related software.

Good idea, because a VPN, which connects to confidential systems, may
only consist of well-known hard- and software.
