If client systems connect from outside the corporate firewall, VMware
recommends that you use a security server. With a security server, client
systems will not require a VPN connection.
Remote applications are available only on Horizon 6.0 (or later) View
servers.
NOTE Features specific to Horizon Client 3.2, such as USB redirection and
Real-Time Audio-Video, are available only with View Agent 6.0.2 and later.
