IPSEC VPN Tunnel

All traffic travels through a secure VPN tunnel.

Security Compliance Check (SCV)

 

 

Monitor remote computers to confirm that the configuration complies with organization's security policy.

Integrated Desktop Firewall

 

 

Integrated endpoint firewall centrally managed from a Security Management Server

Split Tunneling

Encrypt only traffic targeted to the VPN tunnel.

Hub Mode

 

Pass all connections through the gateway.

Dynamic Optimization of Connection Method

When NAT-T connectivity is not possible, automatically connect over TCP port 443 (HTTPS port).

Multi Entry Point (MEP)

Client seamlessly connects to an alternative site when the primary site is not available.

Secondary Connect

End-users can connect once and get transparent access to resources, regardless of their location.

Office Mode IP

 

Each VPN client is assigned an IP from the internal office network.

Back Connection Protocols

 

Support protocols where the client sends its IP to the server and the server initiates a connection back to the client using the IP it receives. These protocols include: Active FTP, X11, some VoIP protocols.

Auto Connect and Location Awareness

 

 

Intelligently detect if the user is outside the internal office network, and automatically connect as required. If the client senses that it is inside the internal network, the VPN connection is terminated.

Roaming

 

Tunnel and connections remain active while roaming between networks.

Always Connected

 

VPN connection is established whenever the client exits the internal network.

Exclude Local Network

 

Exclude local network traffic when Hub mode (Route all traffic) is configured.

Secure Domain Logon (SDL)

 

VPN tunnel and domain connectivity is established as part of Windows login allowing GPO and install scripts to execute on remote machines.

Split DNS

Support for multiple DNS servers - a regular DNS server for resolving the external resources; an internal company DNS server assigned by the Office Mode for resolving the internal company resources.

Hotspot Detection and Registration

 

Detection only

Makes it easier for users to find and register with hot spots to connect to the VPN through local portals (such as in hotels or airports).

Secure Authentication API (SAA)

 

Allows third party-extensions to the standard authentication schemes. This includes 3-factor and biometrics authentication.
