If you don’t need a VPN to connect with the client, you won’t need one for the REST API

You will need be able to go to the Swagger page same as on-premise.

e.g

```auto
https://serverName.epicorsaas.com/instanceName/api/help/v1/index.html

```

You can do your standard REST requests e.g GET, POST, PATCH as you would on-premise. The only downside is you do not get access to the server so you will need to do all of your debugging through Postman, DevTools (Chrome, Edge) etc.

No VPN needed, just your ERP creds and a API Key if you’re planning to use V2.

Hope this helps.
