Introduction

Security Features

•Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

•NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Broadband VPN Gateway.

•NATT (NAT-Traversal).NAT Traversal is a method to allow IPSec to work through NAT devices. It is encapsulating IPsec ESP packets into UDP packets for passing through routers or firewalls employing Network Address Translation (NAT).

•Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

•IP/MAC Binding. Users cannot change the IP address unless they have the permission of the IT manager.

•Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Broadband VPN Gateway incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

•Rule-based Policy Firewall. To provide additional protection against malicious packets, you can define your own firewall rules. This can also be used to control the Internet services available to LAN users.

IPSec VPN Gateway Features

•IPSec. Support for IPSec standards, including IKE and certificates.

•100 Tunnels. Up to 100 VPN tunnels can be created.

•High performance. High performance encryption engine maintains high throughput even when using 3DES.

•DPD Support Dead Peer Detection is a method of detecting a dead Internet Key Exchange (IKE) peer. The method uses IPSec traffic patterns to minimize the number of messages required to confirm the liveness of a peer. DPD is used to reclaim the lost re- sources in case a peer is found dead.

Microsoft VPN Gateway Support

•PPTP Server. The Broadband VPN Gateway emulates a Microsoft PPTP VPN Server, allowing clients to use the Microsoft VPN client provided in Windows.

•Windows Client Support. Remote users can use the Microsoft VPN client (VPN Adapter) provided in recent versions of Windows.

•Easy Setup. For both the Administrator and remote users, the Microsoft VPN is much easier to configure than IPSec VPN.
