Everyone is on the move. And companies tend to spread, either national- or international-wise. The VPN Server can solve remote access issues by securely interconnecting local networks or providing full local network access to the roaming user.

The VPN Server has two main functionalities. The first is to allow interconnection between two or more local networks. The remote networks can then communicate transparently over the Internet, making possible to use all services, systems and software provided in any of the interconnected networks, from any other of the interconnected local networks, just like they would be used if everything was on a single LAN. Useful for branches that want access to the internal network of the headquarters, the VPN Server site-to-site connectivity provides the easiest way to get the job done.

The second functionality that the VPN Server provides is to allow a roaming user to connect to the corporate network through the Internet and work like he/she would normally work, as if he was physically connected to the corporate network. This allows for special software to be available to remote users, without sacrificing security by allowing internet access to the software. Additionally, regular services, like email services, file services, and more, can be secured by blocking internet access, allowing only local network access, and using the VPN Server and its roaming-user support to allow remote users to connect to the corporate local network.

The VPN Server uses advanced cryptographic algorithms to secure and authenticate traffic. It uses the industry-standard OpenVPN software suite, which it a market-proven solution for strong encryption for VPN solutions. Also, there is built-in support for the simpler PPTP protocol for supporting Microsoft Windows built-in VPN client, to provide an easy to setup but low-security solution.
