MUVPN Clients
CHAPTER 10
The MUVPN client is a software application that is installed on a
remote computer. This application makes a secure connection from
the remote computer to your protected network through an
unsecured network. The MUVPN client uses Internet Protocol
Security (IPSec) to guarantee the security of the connection.
The following is an example of how the MUVPN client can be
used. First, the MUVPN client is installed on the remote computer.
Then a connection to the Internet is established on the remote
computer. The user starts the MUVPN client, which creates an
encrypted tunnel to the SOHO 6. The SOHO 6 connects the user to
the trusted network. The employee now has remote access to the
internal network and does not compromise the security of the
network. You do not need a successful connection on the external
interface to create MUVPN connections.

ZoneAlarm , a personal firewall software application, is included
as an optional feature with the MUVPN client. ZoneAlarm
