OVERVIEW
When
we think about Private Network, we usually think about the Local
Area Network (LAN). Generally speaking, a LAN is a group of computers
link together physically within a single location via network
cables. Having a LAN allows us to efficiently, privately and securely
share information and resources between computers that are linked
together.
We
can share files, share printer, access customers database, emailing
and many more. But the moment we leave the office with our notebook
or are at home, all the resources we usually to share easily either
became unavailable or too insecure to be access over the Internet.
This is where VPNNow! becomes very useful. It allows access to
the LAN remotely (at home or oversea location) privately, securely
and affordably.
VPNNow!
essentially enables you to have a private data network that uses
existing telecommunications infrastructures (regular phone lines,
T1 lines, DSL, cable lines, and so on). Privacy is achieved through
the use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures. VPNNow!
enables company offices or individuals in different locations
to securely access a central network without having to dial directly
in to the company network.
MAIN FEATURES:
VPNNow!
is ideal for:
·
Companies who need secure inter-office networking.
·
Home users who wish to set up a secure peer-to-peer connection
between remote PCs.
·
Home or Mobile workers, who require a secure environment to connect
to the office from remote locations.
·
Administrator who wants to manage servers across different locations.
Benefits
of VPNNow!
1.
Convenience of accessing company network without physical connections.
2.
Cost Savings especially for inter-office connections because access
via the Internet infrastructure is much more cost-effective compare
to having a physical leased-line link to different sites.
3.
VPN use cryptographic technology to provide data confidentiality
and integrity for the data in transit. This improves security
as at least 128bit encryption is use for secure data transfer.
4.
Capability to access Windows Terminal Services behind the firewall
within the network.

VPNNow!
uses the basic IPSEC for securing the VPN tunnels. IPSEC is industry
best practice for protecting your corporate VPN today.
However,
the disadvantage of IPSEC is that there are too many options and
flexibility. This results in code bloat that is detrimental for
normal functional standard. For example, some VPN solutions have
various supports for different encryption standard when only one
strong encryption is required and various layers of encryption
support over a single packet whereby each layer will induce significant
payload overhead resulting in slower traffic output.
Having a published port number that is fixed for IKE in IPSEC
also produce a security weakness in giving hackers the foreknowledge
of the port and the ability to launch a possible DOS attack.
VPNNow!
avoids all these complexity by concentrating on the core principles
used in IPSEC that made it a secure implementation. By using ESP
with built in authentication, 192-bit AES encryption as standard
and a different port with custom IKE, VPNNow! is not only secure
but faster in performance.
VPNNow!
is 100% software that runs on Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP and Win
2003 based platform. With the availability of better hardware
standard for personal computers, software based solutions works
better and faster with your investment in time.
