High-Speed, Cost-Effective Small Office VPN Security Solution
Designed for businesses with multiple sites and remote workers, the 3Com® OfficeConnect® VPN Firewall can initiate and terminate up to 50 simultaneous VPNs for both site-to-site and user-to-site communication. The VPN Firewall allows up to 253 users to share secure access to the Internet through a single broadband connection. This consolidation saves money by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain multiple lines and IP addresses.
The 3Com OfficeConnect VPN Firewall protects networks by preventing unauthorized network access using a stateful packet inspection firewall and blocking denial of service (DoS) and other attacks, and by encrypting traffic traveling across the Internet. The VPN firewall supports IP security (IPSec) DES, 3DES and AES-128 VPN protocols as well as PPTP and L2TP protocols, to provide wide flexibility in the choice of VPN communication. The firewall offers advanced traffic management and filtering features such as traffic shaping, which prioritizes outbound and inbound traffic on selected service ports to make sure there is sufficient bandwidth for voice and multimedia. With simple setup wizards and an intuitive web browser interface, the firewall is designed to be easy to use for the novice user, yet flexible enough for more complicated configurations.
The unit comes with a 14 day free trial of the 3Com® OfficeConnect® Content Filter Service, a premium subscription service for OfficeConnect routers that blocks access to pornographic, prejudicial, violent and undesired Internet web content or services.
