Firebox® Management: WatchGuard® VPN Manager
Turn the complex task of setting up multi-site VPN tunnels into
a simple three step process using the technology of VPN Manager
to instantly create VPNs. VPN Manager significantly reduces the
ongoing management complexity of operating a VPN tunnel network
and provides secure, cost-effective Internet communications in remote
locations.
Secure Management of Firebox SOHOs
VPN Manager also gives you a secure way to remotely manage WatchGuard®
Firebox SOHO appliances. The browser connection uses Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) technology, with X.509.v3 certificates for authentication.
In addition, you can create up to 6 VPN tunnels for each Firebox
SOHO 6tc or SOHO 6 under management (up to 5 for SOHO|tc and SOHO).
Key Benefits:
- Central management of remote VPNs and automatic download of
configuration updates to VPN end points such as branch offices
or mobile users saves management and administration time
- Point-and-click functionality simplifies VPN creation to three
simple steps, and makes it easy to manage security policies
- DVCP technology eliminates the need to re-enter VPN configuration
information on multiple devices, saving time and reducing errors
