Yes, that is remote access.

This is also remote access from what I can read from their site.

Local Access: When you access a machine from within the network it is consider as local access. It doesn't matter even if you VPN. When you VPN you are in local network so that is local access. I am defining local access in terms of network not in terms of geography.

Remote Access: When you access a machine from outside your network it is consider as remote access.

This is my understanding of local and remote access.

In security terms, specifically sshd_config, remote means anyone using an ssh client on another machine.
Strictly speaking, 'local' means you are already logged into the machine and just want to change users via su or sudo.
IOW, local vs remote is defined relative to the machine itself, not the network its on, even if it is a 'LAN'.

Hi Chrism,

Yes, you are right. I was thinking in terms on network.
