ZyWALL 2 Series User’s Guide

1.3.2 Secure Broadband Internet Access and VPN

You can connect a cable, DSL or wireless modem to the ZyWALL via Ethernet for broadband Internet access. The ZyWALL also provides IP address sharing and a firewall-protected local network with traffic management.

ZyWALL VPN is an ideal cost-effective way to connect branch offices and business partners over the Internet without the need (and expense) of leased lines between sites. The LAN computers can share the two VPN tunnels for secure connections to remote computers.
