Question: Use in a corporate environment

[SamStenton]

We have Coder deployed into a secure corporate environment, with a VPN already running on end user devices. I'd like to deploy Desktop for our developers but I think I'll struggle given the additional VPN requirement. I have a couple of questions:

1. Does this deploy a per-app-vpn style vpn for just the Coder desktop application?
2. Will there be the ability for us to just to make use of our existing VPN setup / Does the VPN need to exist given we are already directly connected to our Coder infra (SSH allowed).

Thanks for checking out Coder Desktop!

1. The main value proposition behind Coder Desktop is that it makes your workspace available system-wide, at <workspace-name>.coder, without being beholden to running coder ssh or coder port-forward. Check out the docs for details: https://coder.com/docs/user-guides/desktop/desktop-connect-sync

2. If your Coder deployment is only accessible over a VPN, the Coder deployment will need to be running v2.24.3 or later, and you'll need to use Coder Desktop for macOS v0.8.0 or later.

If your end users need to connect to the VPN for coder ssh to work, they'll also need to be connected to the VPN for Coder Desktop too.
