Installation files for VPN client installation are provided on the Barracuda NG Firewall Application CD-ROM. You may alternatively download the installation package from Barracuda Networks. An MSI file is additionally provided for software distribution systems.

Copy the installation files onto the local hard disk before commencing installation.

All Barracuda NG VPN client drivers are signed by Microsoft for Windows NT, Windows XP (32 Bit), Windows Vista (32 Bit and 64 Bit) and Windows 7 (32 Bit and 64 Bit) logo compliance.

Barracuda NG Network Access Client is not intended to work as complement to VPN clients and/or personal firewalls provided by other vendors. Thus, Barracuda Networks recommends to uninstall any other VPN client and/or personal firewalls prior to installation of Barracuda NG Network Access Client.

The only notable exception is the Microsoft Firewall which can be operated in conjunction with Barracuda NG Personal Firewall.

Installation requires administrator rights on the respective system.

For Microsoft Windows XP users it is highly recommended to have the official Service Pack 2 and recent hotfixes installed.

Take into consideration that the NG Personal Firewall is turned OFF by default and requires manual activation during the setup routine, or alternatively after successful installation.

The installation routine offers three basic ways of setup:

<Barracuda NG VPN client>, <Barracuda NG SSL VPN and NAC client>, <Custom>
