A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is used to set up virtual logical networks that operate on top of other networks, such as the Internet. UserGate supports two types of VPNs, Remote Access VPN (client/server model) and Site-to-Site VPN (server/server model).
Для создания защищенных туннелей используются протоколы L2TP/IPsec или IKEv2/IPsec. UserGate has its own VPN client, UserGate Client, and also supports working with standard clients for the majority of popular operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and others.
The web portal (SSL VPN) can be used to provide secure access for company employees to internal web resources, SSH servers, and terminal servers without the need to install a dedicated VPN client, using only the HTTPS protocol.
