VPNforce™ Port Upgrade for Firebox® SOHO 6 Models

Need to use your Firebox® SOHO 6 for wireless networking? You can still secure wireless communications, even without a Firebox® SOHO 6 Wireless Model, with the VPNforce™ Port Upgrade.

Segregate Branch Office VPN and Secure Wireless Connections
Apply corporate policies to telecommuter workstations, protect wireless connections, and create secure Branch Office VPNs with your corporate network that are separate from your Trusted network. The VPNforce Port Upgrade lets you enable the Optional (OPT) port on your Firebox SOHO 6 model appliance to ensure telecommuter workstation and corporate network security. You can also use the OPT port on Firebox SOHO 6 models for the Dual ISP Port Upgrade*.

Features and Benefits

Branch Office VPN Traffic Separation
How It Works

• Require telecommuters to authenticate with a Mobile User VPN client and let network administrators enforce corporate security policies for telecommuters and branch offices with a firewall between the Trusted (4 port switch) interfaces and the OPT port.
• Allow users to share a broadband connection with family, roommates, or multiple corporate peers while still working under the company security policy.
• A separate subnet lets administrators choose to block all or no traffic.

VPNforce Port Upgrade: Enforce corporate policy for telecommuters, let users share a broadband connection, and create a separate subnet.

Wireless Access Point Security
How It Works

• Prevent wireless "drive by" hacking by connecting a wireless access point through the OPT port.
• Increase your corporate network security by forcing telecommuters to authenticate with a Mobile User VPN client, creating a secure IPSec tunnel from the wireless computer to the Firebox SOHO 6 model appliance.
• Separation of the Trusted network from the OPT port further protects the connection from the wireless computer to the Firebox SOHO 6 model.

VPNforce Port Upgrade Wireless Security Installation

*The VPNforce Port Upgrade and Dual ISP Port Upgrade cannot be used simultaneously on a single appliance, and are not available as options for SOHO 6 Wireless models.
