Typical Applications

Remote User VPN. The client-to-
LAN VPN application replaces
traditional dial-in remote access by
allowing a remote user to connect
to the corporate LAN through a
secure tunnel over the Internet.
The advantage is that a remote
user can make a local call to an
Internet Service Provider, without
sacrificing the company's security,
as opposed to a long distance call
to the corporate remote access
server.
Branch Office VPN. The LAN-to-
LAN VPN application sends
network traffic over the branch
office Internet connection instead
of relying on dedicated leased line
connections. This can save
thousands of dollars in line costs
and reduce overall hardware and
management expenses.
Firewall Security. As businesses
shift from dial-up or leased line
connections to always-on
broadband Internet connections,
the network becomes more
vulnerable to Internet hackers.
The RouteFinder provides a full-
featured firewall based on
Stateful Packet Inspection
technology and NAT protocol to
provide security from intruders
attempting to access the office
LAN.
