You can configure your Safe@Office appliance as part of a virtual private
network (VPN). A VPN is a private data network consisting of a group of
gateways that can securely connect to each other. Each member of the VPN
is called a VPN site, and a connection between two VPN sites is called a VPN
tunnel. VPN tunnels encrypt and authenticate all traffic passing through
them. Through these tunnels, employees can safely use their company’s
network resources when working at home. For example, they can securely
read email, use the company’s intranet, or access the company’s database
from home.
The are three types of VPN sites:
• Remote Access VPN Server - Makes a network remotely available to
authorized users, who connect to the Remote Access VPN Server
