WatchGuard® Mobile User VPN - IPSec Compliant Remote Access

Overview

WatchGuard Mobile User VPN software gives telecommuters and traveling employees a safe and secure way to access the corporate network from their home computers and laptops.

WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) software simplifies the task of managing VPN policies and remote user identities.

Mobile User VPN software includes a personal firewall to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to a secure corporate network through a mobile user's computer.

How it Works

WatchGuard Mobile User VPN uses IPSec with DES or 3DES-CBC to encrypt incoming traffic, and MD5 or SHA-1 to authenticate data packets. The Network Administrator creates and distributes a security policy configuration, along with the Mobile User VPN software, to each telecommuter. Once the software is installed on the telecommuter's computer, they can securely access corporate resources.

Mobile User VPN software runs on any Windows® 95/98/2000/XP or Windows NT® 4.0 workstation.
