3com OfficeConnect® VPN Firewall with 12-month Content Filter License (UK) hardware firewall

OfficeConnect® VPN Firewall with 12-month Content Filter License Complete, Convenient, Cost-Effective VPN Security Solution
Designed for businesses with multiple sites and remote workers, the 3Com® OfficeConnect® VPN Firewall includes everything a small business needs to secure a broadband link: a stateful packet inspection firewall with denial of service (DoS) protection, VPN tunneling capabilities, and content filtering. The VPN firewall protects networks by preventing unauthorized network access and encrypting traffic traveling over the Internet, supporting up to 50 simultaneous virtual private networks (VPNs) for secure site-to-site and user-to-site communication users can share secure access to the Internet through a single broadband connection, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain multiple lines and IP addresses.
The VPN firewall supports DES, 3DES, and AES-128 protocols to encrypt network traffic, as well as IP security (IPSec), PPTP, and L2TP protocols to create VPNs. An advanced traffic shaping feature prioritizes outbound and inbound traffic on selected service ports to ensure sufficient bandwidth for voice and video. With simple setup wizards and an intuitive web browser interface, the VPN firewall is designed to be easy to use for the novice user, yet flexible enough for more complicated configurations.
For added convenience and value, the 3Com OfficeConnect Content Filter Service comes bundled with the 3Com OfficeConnect VPN firewall to expand and enhance its built-in filtering capabilities. 3Com has partnered with SurfControl, a world leader in the web protection field, to offer the managed service, which automatically blocks access to objectionable web sites. The hosted service proactively hunts down offensive sites and continually updates its database to deliver effective, round-the-clock protection, eliminating the need to continually maintain an ever-growing list of unacceptable URLs. Comprehensive content filtering also helps companies enforce acceptable web usage policies to improve employee productivity and ensure that Internet access is used for work-related business.
The Internet-based subscription service requires little setup and administration; simply check the boxes in the categories you want restricted and activate the managed service. Organizations of any size can now easily comply with state and federal workplace guidelines to protect employees from a hostile workplace environment. Schools, colleges, libraries, or other public institutions required by law (such as the U.S. Child Internet Protection Act) to protect underage students can safely offer Internet access without risk of exposing them to objectionable content.
