USB VPN & Firewall Adapter
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Linksys USB VPN & Firewall Adapter
The Linksys EtherFast
®
Cable/DSL Router
Let the Linksys USB VPN and Firewall Adapter protect your PC and your com-
munications wherever you go. This easy-to-pack, lightweight, network inter-
face with advanced safety and security features connects you to the Internet
through any broadband connection (cable, DSL, or your hotel's fast Internet
service), and protects your PC from most known Internet attacks with a pow-
erful Stateful Packet Inspection firewall. You can also optionally block Java,
Active X, and Cookies -- known points of entry for hackers.
The Adapter connects to virtually any PC through the USB port, and requires
no external power supply. Once you're connected, you can establish a Virtual
Private Network tunnel from your PC to a corporate network using the popular
IPSec VPN standard, and your transmitted data will be protected by govern-
ment-spec DES or Triple-DES encryption.
It's also a perfect traveling companion to the Linksys Firewall Router
(BEFSX41) or VPN Router (BEFVP41) on your home or small office network.
You can securely connect to your home resources to retrieve files, or check
your local email. Once you're connected over VPN, it's just like being attached
to the local network.
With the Linksys USB VPN and Firewall Adapter protecting your PC and
communications, you'll have one less thing to worry about when you're travel-
ing.
