VPN Support

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are the most effective way to keep your business communications over the Internet private and secure. WatchGuard products are capable of delivering strong encryption to protect VPN connections and IPSec tunnel routing.

WatchGuard offers Mobile VPN and Branch Office VPN support.

Mobile VPN

WatchGuard Mobile VPN gives your traveling employees and telecommuters a secure connection to your corporate network. This cost-effective solution allows you to use a standard Internet connection. Four types of Mobile VPN are available: IPSec, SSL, PPTP, and L2TP.

  • IPSec Client

    Available on all WatchGuard XTM devices, Mobile VPN with IPSec is an excellent choice for organizations that require compliance to the IPSec standard. The supported IPSec client runs on most Windows operating systems.

  • SSL

    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) VPN is a convenient remote access method that offers strong security and easy access from practically anywhere that Internet access is available. Mobile VPN with SSL is available on all WatchGuard XTM appliances, with the number of tunnels varying by model and OS version.

  • PPTP Client

    PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is an older but still-used method for implementing VPNs. It is a standard component of WatchGuard XTM appliances and utilizes the widely accepted PPTP connectivity that is bundled with most Microsoft operating systems.

  • L2TP

    Many operating systems, and built-in support for L2TP VPN protocol.

Branch Office VPN with IPSec

WatchGuard Branch Office VPN (BOVPN), a standard component of all WatchGuard XTM models, enables secure communications between devices; for example, between your main office and a remote office. All WatchGuard BOVPNs use the IPSec protocol suite to secure the BOVPN tunnel.

  • IPSec

    IPSec Branch Office VPN capability establishes encrypted tunnels between the XTM appliance and any other IPSec-compliant security device. It is used for point-to-point connections when the network endpoints are known and remain fixed - for example, devices used at branch offices, partner locations, or supplier locations - regardless of brand.

    XTM devices are designed to work together seamlessly through WatchGuard System Manager, which deploys VPNs between XTM devices with drag-and-drop simplicity. Three clicks and your VPN is up and running. This saves you time and resources as you set up and manage your branch office connections with ease.
