1 Introduction
HotBrick VPN client is a complete IPSec VPN solution for all Windows versions. It provides full IKE support
(preshared keying and X509 certificates) and Nat Traversal. It is compatible with most of the currently available
IPSec gateways and also operates as a peer-to-peer VPN in a “point – to – multiple" mode, without a gateway
or server.
HotBrick VPN Client provides 3DES, DES and AES encryption and MD5 and SHA authentication.
• Our IPSec client is the result of many years of experience in network security and Windows network driver
development, as well as extensive research in related areas.
• Our IKE implementation is based on the OpenBSD 3.1 implementation (ISAKMPD), thus providing best com-
patibility with existing IPSec routers and gateways.
Our offer is specially designed to target OEM clients and System Integrators. We provide a fully functional VPN
Client solution to complete existing offers. Our IPSec VPN Client can be re-branded and source code license is
available on demand.
The VPN IPSec Client completes our range of network security products and like all our products is easy to use
and to install.
HotBrick VPN IPSec Client is compatible with all current Windows versions: 9x, ME, NT4, 2000, XP.
