PART V WatchGuard® Virtual Private

Networking

A virtual private network (VPN) allows the secure tunneling of data between two networks (or a host to a network) via a third unprotected network. The WatchGuard Firebox System includes two methods to provide secure tunnels:

Branch office virtual private network

Use the WatchGuard Branch Office VPN features to securely connect two or more locations over the Internet. You can take advantage of our WatchGuard VPN Firebox-to-Firebox configuration or implement a WatchGuard Firebox— to—IPSec-compliant device tunnel.

Remote user virtual private network

Create a secure connection between the trusted network and an employee traveling or working from home with either Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or using an IPSec tunnel. WatchGuard Remote User VPN with PPTP feature is included with the basic software package. WatchGuard Mobile User VPN with IPSec feature is an option.
