Chapter 9 Vpn-Virtual Private Networking; Why Create A Virtual Private Network; What You Need - Watchguard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless User Manual

CHAPTER 9
This chapter explains how to use the Branch Office VPN upgrade
option for the SOHO 6 Wireless.

Why Create a Virtual Private Network?

Use a VPN tunnel to make an inexpensive and secure connection
between the computers in two separate locations. Expensive,
dedicated point-to-point connections are not necessary for a VPN
connection. A VPN tunnel gives the security necessary to use the
public Internet for a virtual private connection.

What You Need

• A SOHO 6 Wireless with the VPN upgrade option installed
and another IPSec-compatible appliance.
