Your network is constantly evolving as you integrate more business applications and consolidate servers. In this environment its becoming extremely complex to maintain total security while users such as employees or subcontractors are working remotely with customers and partners. They need to get access to applications and servers quickly, easily, and securely.
The Tunneling Protocol offers full IKE support. Our IKE implementation is based on the OpenBSD 3.1 implementation (ISAKMPD), thus providing the best compatibility with existing IPSec routers and gateways. Full IPSec support : Main mode and Aggressive mode MD5 and SHA hash algorithms
Hash algorithms MD5-HMAC 128 bit authentication SHA1-HMAC 160-bit authentication
Encryption DES-CBC 56 bit encryption 3DES-CBC 168 bit encryption AES 128, 192, 256 bit encryption
Diffie Hellman Group Support Group 1 : MODP 768 Group 2 : MODP 1024 Group 5 : MODP 1536 Group 14 : MODP 2048
Authentication Mechanism Preshared Key X509 Certificate support (PEM) X-Auth
Certificate Flexible Certificate Support (PEM, PKCS12, )
Key Management ISAKMP (RFC2408) IKE (RFC2409)
IPSec Mode ESP Tunnel Transport
IKE Mode Main Aggressive Quick
USB stick mode All formats supported (SD, MMC, ) Auto close and Auto open IPSec tunnels when plugging in or removing USB Stick Security Elements (e.g. network, configuration, shared key, certificates, ...) cannot be used on other computers
Networking NAT traversal (Draft1, 2 & 3) allow IPSec connection through a NAT device. Main mode & agressive mode, NAT keep Alive, Payload NAT_OA, IP address emulation Multi tunneling to several Gateways DNS and WINS resolutions supported Support of Dead Peer Detection (DPD)
Peer to Peer Peer to Peer connections Accepts incoming IPSec Tunnels
Blocking capabilities 'IPSec only' traffic filtering Can block all other connections than the VPN connections.
Management Options Client configuration in hidden mode Set of command lines to make deployment and management easier Capability to start before logon
Performance Runs as a service on Win2K or XP High performances, no system overhead Around 75 sec download over DSL
Supported Platforms Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP.
NAT Traversal support of NAT Traversal Draft 1 (enhanced), Draft 2 and 3 (full implementation). IP address emulation. Including NAT_OA support (floating port for IKE exchange) Including NAT keepalive
IP Encapsulating Security: mode tunnel & transport. Multi-tunneling to several VPN Gateways. Allow 'IPsec only' trafic filtering. Accepts incoming IPSec Tunnels.
Strong IPSec encryption provided by 3DES, DES and AES using 256 bit encryption.
Strong User Authentication with support X-Auth, PreShared keying and X509 Certificates support. Flexible Certificate support (PEM, PKCS12, ...). Support of Diffie-Hellman Group1, 2, 5 and 14 (i.e. 1536 and 2048).
The connection operates in VPN Client to Gateway Mode and allows remote users and business partners or subcontractors to securely connect to the corporate network with strong authentication. Peer to Peer Mode can be used to securely connect branch office servers to the corporate information system. All connection types including Dial up, DSL, Cable, GSM/GPRS and WiFi are supported.
Our Multi-vendor strategy allows us to support as many IPSec VPN gateways and routers on the market as possible to offer a true multi-vendor solution to entreprises. HotBrick has certified with several IPSec VPN gateways including Bewan, Cisco, Linksys, Netgear, Netscreen, SonicWall, Symantec, Zyxel and Linux appliances that support StrongS/WAN or FreeS/WAN. Please also check our Certified VPN Gateway/Router complete list HERE. If you are experiencing testing errors or staging errors, or compatibility issues or configuration problems in a multi gateways/routers environment, then you want to try the HotBrick IPSec VPN Client.
Flexible software deployment means software, configuration, policy and updates can be deployed whenever and wherever it's needed while maintaining low TCO for your organization. HotBrick software provides the best combination of strong security of IPSec with "lightweight" IPSec Clients that can be web-deployed to simplify IPSec based network-layer access. The HotBrick VPN Client is very compact software.
A USB Stick and USB token add another layer of security on top of IPSec. VPN configurations and security elements (certificates, preshared key, ) can be saved to a USB Stick in order to remove authentication information from the computer.
Silent install and an invisible graphical interface allow IT managers to deploy solutions while preventing the user from misusing configurations.
The VPN configuration Wizard allows the creation of VPN configurations in three easy steps. It is designed for remote computers that need to connect to a corporate LAN through a VPN gateway. To look at a VPN Client Wizard screenshot, CLICK HERE.
The HotBrick VPN Client Software operates as a Service, allowing its use on unattended Servers.
The HotBrick VPN Client Software allows centralized management of security policies. Security must be managed without users even noticing! Protection must be as transparent as possible.
The following Windows versions are supported: Win95, Win98 ,Me, NT, Win2000, WinXP, WinVista (32 & 64 bits).
