WatchGuard Technologies SOHO manual Introduction, Welcome

CHAPTER 1 Introduction

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing the ideal solution for providing secure access to the Internet–the WatchGuard SOHO or WatchGuard SOHOtc. Your new security device will give you peace of mind when connecting to the Internet using a high-speed cable or DSL modem, a leased line, or ISDN.

This User Guide applies to both the SOHO and the SOHOtc–thename SOHO is used to refer to both these devices throughout the guide. The only difference between them is the ability to create and use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This VPN option can be added to the SOHO, while the SOHOtc comes with the VPN option already installed.

The most current installation and user information is available on the Internet at:
