Spam Filtering

A free spam filtering feature protects your network from unsolicited bulk e-mail utilizing real-time, as well as, user-definable white and black lists. In addition, the spam filter checks for null sender and bad address patterns in e-mail addresses. It also utilizes the reverse DNS test, as well as, attachment and expression filters.

Secure VPN Connections

The RouteFinder security appliance uses IPSec and PPTP industry standard protocols, data encryption, user authentication, and the Internet to provide high-performance, secure VPN connections. For LAN-to-LAN connectivity, the RouteFinder security appliance utilizes the IPSec protocol with strong 3DES and AES encryption using IKE and PSK key management.

For Client-to-LAN connectivity, Multi-Tech offers optional IPSec client software allowing road warriors and telecommuters secure access to the company’s internal network. The RouteFinder security appliance also supports remote users that want to use the PPTP VPN client built into the Windows operating system. This provides 40-bit or 128-bit encryption, user name and password authentication.

Reporting

The RouteFinder security appliance includes a suite of integrated monitoring and reporting tools that help administrators troubleshoot the Internet security system and report Internet usage to management. This includes reporting on system uptime, hardware and network utilization. HTTP and SMTP proxy reports provide information about any actions needed to handle virus-infected e-mails. The RouteFinder security appliance also disables and logs attempted port scans.

In addition, it provides accounting reports and a self-monitor that sends an e-mail notification of system-level issues.
