How to connect Surface Hub to VPN?

Hi, we just installed a Surface Hub in the office to use for scrum meetings.

The plan is to display the teams' scrum boards from TFS on the Surface to be able to work interactively together at the screen.

However, currently our TFS environment is on a separate network, to which you need a VPN tunnel.

How can we set up this tunnel to TFS, and still use the normal network for the Skype For Business call for remote team members?

    Hi Anders

    I'm not sure this can be done. I've not seen any VPN clients that run on Surface Hub as they are most likely unable to run in a UWP environment.

    Thanks

      Thanks for your quick response, Dan.

      Too bad, but hopefully this problem will pass in a month or two, when we have TFS servers on the same network as the rest of the environment.

        Also note that you can connect a laptop to the Hub via HDMI/USB. You can then VPN in with the laptop and display/interact with TFS on the Hub.
