I'm working on testing a client's Digital Banking app for both iPhone and Android. The client has set up their corporate test network in a specific office location and they want us to use only that network for testing due to security concerns. My main questions are: 1) Is it feasible to connect to their corporate network from a remote location? 2) What methods are typically used for such secure connections, like VPN or remote desktop? 3) Can this access be restricted to client-provided test phones, or could personal devices connect as well? I'm looking to understand how enterprises or banks usually manage this setup for secure mobile app testing.

Yes, there are several ways to set this up, and most likely the solution will be to use a VPN for secure access. For instance, if you're using a physical test phone, you could directly VPN into their network. Alternatively, you could set up a VPN on your router if you're testing from a personal home network. Another option is to SSH into a device on their network, like a Raspberry Pi, which could then communicate with your phone. Just keep in mind that this usually needs to be arranged with the client for access permissions.
You can access the corporate network remotely; typically, a VPN is the go-to method for this kind of secure connection. If you're using a virtual phone or emulator, the company might have a dedicated machine within their LAN that you can remote into. As for device use, it would be best to clarify with the client if personal devices are allowed. Usually, they prefer using only authorized test devices to maintain security standards.
