Billion BiGuard VPN Client

Remote address: This field may be "Remote host address" or "Remote LAN address" depending of the address type. It is the remote IP address, or LAN network address of the gateway, that opens the VPN tunnel.

Subnet mask: Subnet mask of the remote LAN. Only available when address type is equal to the "Subnet address".

ESP:

~ESP Encryption: Select the encryption method from the pull-down menu. There are several options, DES, 3DES and AES (128, 192 and 256).

zDES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method.

z3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method.

zAES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method.

~ESP authentication: It is a Message Digest algorithm which coverts any length of a message into a unique set of bits. It is widely used MD5 (Message Digest) and SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) algorithms.

SHA is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower.

zMD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash.

zSHA: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash.

~ESP mode: IPSec encapsulation mode : tunnel.

PFS group (Diffie-Hellman key length): It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups.

Open Tunnel: This button allows users to open the tunnel. This button changes to "Close Tunnel" as soon as the tunnel is opened.
