The VPN 800/2G is a firewall with an IPSec VPN server that allows up to 100 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 800/2G allows you to establish up to 100 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 800/2G features include packet inspection, IPSec VPN, NAT, intruder detection, URL filter, control and blocking access features, and distinct user policies (7 different user groups). Besides providing a complete firewall, the VPN 800/2G supports most of the popular high bandwidth connections including cable, DSL, static and dynamic IP and PPPoE. It is an 8 port switch with 2 additional Giga ports and DHCP server/client that allows safe internet connection sharing.
Economy, speed and stability
The VPN 800/2G 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 800/2G 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 800/2G will use the other connection automatically. It is an ideal product for those who need QoS (Quality of Service) to establish priority traffic and bandwidth for critical applications.
The VPN 800/2G allows the creation of up to 100 IPSec 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 compatible products such as the following: VPN 800/2Gs or VPN 800/2s, or between 2 HotBrick LB2 VPNs, or between a VPN 800/2 or VPN 800/2G and an LB2 VPN.
The VPN 800/2 G 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 priority/reserve bandwidth to internet or local traffic. Load Balancing shares the internet traffic between both Broadband connections.
The VPN 800/2G is an 8 LAN 10/100 port switch with 2 Gigabit ports 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 800/2G 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 G allows you to block and control access to undesirable sites, preventing users from improperly using the internet at work by using white and black lists applicable up to 7 differents users groups.
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 through the WAN IP by only allowing the specific ports used by the services directly to the internal Servers.
The VPN 800/2 G supports multiple Internet IPs addresses that can be mapped through the Multi-DMZ or NAT Alias to LAN computers/servers permitting only the services or TCP/IP ports specified for the mappings.
With the VPN 800/2 G you can create up to 7 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 G can act as a DHCP server for your network and can manage up to 253 IPs with a class C subnet (CIDR 24).
The VPN 800/2 G 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 G 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.
