Virtual Private
Networking
A virtual private network (VPN) allows the secure tunneling of data between two
networks (or a host to a network) via a third unprotected network. The WatchGuard
Firebox System includes two methods to provide secure tunnels:
Branch office virtual private network
Use the WatchGuard Branch Office VPN features to securely connect two or
more locations over the Internet. You can take advantage of our WatchGuard
VPN Firebox-to-Firebox configuration or implement a WatchGuard Firebox—
to—IPSec-compliant device tunnel.
Remote user virtual private network
Create a secure connection between the trusted network and an employee
traveling or working from home with either Point to Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) or using an IPSec tunnel. WatchGuard Remote User VPN with PPTP
feature is included with the basic software package. WatchGuard Mobile User
VPN with IPSec feature is an option.
