Typical Applications
Remote User VPN
The client-to-LAN VPN application
replaces traditional dial-in remote
access by allowing a remote user
to connect to the corporate LAN
through a secure tunnel over the
Internet. The advantage is that a
remote user can make a local call
to an Internet Service Provider,
without sacrificing the company’s
security, as opposed to a long
distance call to the corporate
remote access server.
Branch Office VPN
The LAN-to-LAN VPN application
sends network traffic over the
branch office Internet connection
instead of relying on dedicated
leased line connections. This can
save thousands of dollars in line
costs and reduce overall hardware
and management expenses.
Firewall Security
As businesses shift from dial-up
or leased line connections to
always-on broadband Internet
connections, the network
becomes more vulnerable to
Internet hackers.
The RouteFinder VPN provides a
full-featured firewall based on
Stateful Packet Inspection
technology and NAT protocol to
provide security from intruders
attempting to access the office
LAN.
