The VPN 800/2 is a firewall
with 50 VPN tunnels (VPN Failover) and a router with 2 WAN ports that
combines high bandwidth sharing solutions, network
security, and load balance and redundancy. It's
perfectly suited for the needs of medium and small
businesses. It provides network management features that
are essential for an efficient and safe security policy
and offers VPN failover capability. All at a price you
can afford!
Establish secure connections
between remote locations The VPN 800/2 allows you
to establish up to 50 simultaneous VPN (Virtual
Private Network) tunnels with various encryption
methods (DES, 3DES, AES), using your current broadband
internet connection to securely connect offices,
suppliers, and even your office and your home. To
establish these connections you only need a VPN device
on the other side or you can use the HotBrick Windows
VPN Client. A VPN tunnel allows you to access remote
servers and services such as email and applications with
total security. VPN auto failover is supported. This
allows a VPN connection to be re-established when one of
the two WAN connections drops provided the remote unit
supports the failover feature.
Integrated firewall and
network solution in one device. The VPN 800/2
features include packet inspection, IPSec VPN, NAT,
intruder detection, URL filter, control and blocking
access features, and distinct user policies (5 different
user groups). Besides providing a complete firewall, the
VPN 800/2 supports most of the popular high bandwidth
connections including cable, DSL, static and dynamic IP
and PPPoE. It is an 8 port switch and DHCP server/client
that allows safe internet connection
sharing.
Economy, speed and
stability The VPN 800/2 has 2 redundant WAN ports
that offer a powerful load balance function. It allows
you to trade a high cost internet connection for two
high bandwidth connections (more economic). With
both connections working at the same time, the VPN 800/2
will take advantage of the two connection speeds
simultaneously with load balancing. It can offer
connection failover so that every time a connection
fails, the VPN 800/2 will use the other connection
automatically. It is an ideal product for those who need
QoS (Quality of Service) to establish priority
traffic for critical
applications.
The VPN 800/2 allows the
creation of up to 50 VPN tunnels (with VPN Failover). A VPN tunnel is an
encryption mechanism that provides a safe connection
from your LAN through the internet. You can safely
connect your enterprise to your subsidiaries, shops,
partners or even your house. The VPN auto failover
capability allows a tunnel to be re-established when the
current WAN drops by switching the tunnel to the back-up
WAN; this feature will be supported between 2 HotBrick
VPN 800/2s, or between 2 HotBrick LB2 VPNs, or between a
VPN 800/2 and an LB2 VPN.
The VPN 800/2 uses 2 high
performance WAN ports. Those 2 WAN ports allow:
Redundancy and automatic failover on both high bandwidth
connections QoS (Quality of Service), the ability
to assign how internet sharing is divided between both
connections. Load Balance Internet
Traffic
The VPN 800/2 is an 8 LAN
10/100 port switch for you to share your cable/DSL
connection with up to 253 users on your LAN (using
additional switches and/or
hubs).
For the protection of your
business or home network, the VPN 800/2 comes with a
high performance firewall with SPI packets inspection,
which detects and blocks DoS (Denial of Service)
and other malicious attacks.
The NAT (Network Address
Translation) feature performs the translation of
network addresses and ports, ensuring the privacy of
your internal network IPs and requiring only one
internet IP for your entire
network.
The VPN 800/2 allows you to
block and control access to undesirable sites,
preventing users from improperly using the internet at
work.
The DMZ (demilitarized
zone) feature supports applications that demand
bidirectional data transmission over the internet. It
allows a server/PC on a LAN to act as an independent
node that communicates with the internet in both
directions, like web servers. Without the DMZ,
bidirectional communication with the internet is blocked
by the firewall.
The Virtual Server feature,
with port forwarding, allows sharing LAN services, such
as email and FTP. With this feature, external users can
access specific services on your
LAN.
The VPN 800/2 supports
multiple IP addresses for each WAN port. It can map
internet IPs to a LAN computer.
With the VPN 800/2 you can
create up to 5 distinct user groups, with distinct
internet access and policies. For example, you can
create a group with full access, one that can only
access the internet and email, and another that doesnt
have any internet access at all.
If you have a dynamic IP
address that changes at each connection or some other
interval, the DDNS feature frees you from having to
change IP addresses manually so that services that
depend on specific IP numbers are not
interrupted.
The VPN 800/2 can act as a
DHCP server for your network and can manage up to 253
IPs.
The VPN 800/2 allows
passing VPN connections (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) through the
equipment, and does not interfere with VPN tunnels
between internal and external users/servers.
The VPN 800/2 supports
internet communication applications such as games, VoIP
and conferences that are usually hard to use behind a
firewall. The support for special applications allows
the use of some non-standard applications, where each
port used to reply is different from the port used to
issue a request.
