Client Installation

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.
Double-click setup.exe to start the installation routine.
The installation routine offers three basic ways of setup:
<Barracuda NG VPN client>, <Barracuda NG SSL VPN and NAC client>, <Custom>
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.
