CHAPTER 9 Configuring the
MUVPN Client
The MUVPN client is a software application that is installed on a
remote computer. This application makes a secure connection from the
remote computer to your protected network through an unsecured
network. The MUVPN client uses Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) to
guarantee the security of the connection.
The following is an example of how the MUVPN client can be used.
First, the MUVPN client is installed on the remote computer. Then a
connection to the Internet is established on the remote computer. The
user starts the MUVPN client, which creates an encrypted tunnel to the
Firebox X Edge. The Firebox X Edge connects the user to the trusted
network. The employee now has remote access to the internal network
and does not compromise the security of the network.
ZoneAlarm
®
, a personal firewall software application, is included as an
optional feature with the MUVPN client. ZoneAlarm provides addi-
tional security for the remote users of your network by acting as a
software firewall.
This chapter shows how to install and configure the MUVPN client on
a remote computer. This chapter also includes information about the
features of the ZoneAlarm personal firewall.
