HotBrick VPN Software Client Version 4.2

Hardware Firewall LoadBalancer LB-2

This is a software-only product which we will send you by email or as a download with a key, which is used to connect a Windows-based computer to a standard IPSec server.  We will also mail you a CD with the key if you request it.   IPSec servers are usually standard firewalls (either hardware or software) with additional IPSec functionality. They are used to provide a secure, encrypted path from a single PC to a network – say, your office network. Using our VPN client, you can access your network while you’re traveling – from a hotel, a cottage / camp / summer home /chalet. You can also use it to establish a small branch office securely away from your primary office. Use it for telecommuters too! Many of our customers use it for technical support from home. The product is ideal for use with the many HotBrick VPN firewall appliances, such as the 401VPN, the LB-2VPN (aka the LB2VPN, LB2 VPN, etc.), the VPN600/2, the VPN1200/2, the VPN800/2, VPN1400/2, VPN800/2G, VPN800/8F, HSS4000, or HSS6000. It also works well with standard VPN IPSec appliances from other manufacturers.

We are currently shipping version 4.2 of this product.

Use this product to provide secure remote access to a VPN firewall-protected network which supports IPSec VPNs. Need to reach your office network securely while traveling or working from home? You need this product! Access sensitive data like customers lists, accounting information, your contact manager or CRM system, proprietary product information, etc. Give a copy to your accountant, lawyer or boss! We sell three or four of these licenses with every IPSec VPN appliance!

You do not need this product in the following cases:

a. If you have the 401VPN, HSS4000, or HSS6000 protecting your central (office), you can use the built-in Microsoft VPN client if your PC is running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. However, if you need to access both 401VPN based networks and LB-2VPN or VPN800/2, VPN1400/2, VPN800/2G, or VPN800/8F based networks, you still need this product!

b. You have more than one remote PC in the same location needing secure access. In this case, it is cheaper and in some ways better to use a hardware based solution like the 401VPN at the remote office instead. Phone us for advice.

Want to connect from a fixed location?  Consider using a hardware VPN firewall instead!  (Click here) 401VPN

-Tunneling Protocol Tunneling Protocol with full IKE support. The IKE implementation is based on the OpenBSD 3.1 implementation (ISAKMPD), thus providing best compatibility with existing IPSec routers and gateways. Full IPSec support:

-Main mode and Aggressive mode MD5 and SHA hash algorithms

-NAT-Traversal NAT-Traversal support of Draft 1 (enhanced), Draft 2 and 3 (full implementation), IP address emulation, including:

-NAT_OA support (floating port for IKE exchange) NAT keepalive NAT-T in aggressive mode Forced NAT-T

-NAT-Traversal may be forced from the IPSec VPN Client. This functionnality is especially useful to solve issues with intermediate NAT boxes.

-IP Encapsulating Security IP Encapsulating Security: mode tunnel & transport. Multi-tunneling to several VPN Gateways. Allows 'IPSec only' trafic filtering, can block all other connections than the VPN connections. Accepts incoming IPSec Tunnels.

-Strong encryption Strong IPSec encryption provided by:

-DES, 3DES 192 bits AES 256, AES 512 bits RSA 2048

-Strong User Authentication Strong User Authentication provided by:

-PreShared keying X-Auth USB Token and Smart Card X509 Certificates. Flexible Certificate format (PEM, PKCS12, ...) on various media (USB, tokens, smartcards) Hybrid mode is a specific authentication method used within IKE. Phase 1. This method assume an asymmetry between the authenticating entities. Keying group: Support of Diffie-Hellman Group1, 2, 5 and 14 (i.e. 1536 and 2048)

-Mode-Config "Mode-Config" is an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) extension that enables the IPSec VPN gateway to provide LAN configuration to the remote user's machine (i.e. IPSec VPN Client). Once the tunnel is opened with "Mode Config", the end-user is able to address all servers on the remote network by using their network name (e.g. //myserver/marketing/budget) instead of their IP Address.

-IP Range IP Range is a new feature that enables the HotBrick IPSec VPN Client to establish a tunnel only within a range of predefined IP addresses.

-Connection Mode All connections types such as Dial up, DSL, Cable, GSM/GPRS and WiFi are supported. Several connection modes:

-IPSec VPN Client to Gateway Mode allows remote users and business partners or subcontractors to securely connect to the corporate network, with strong authentication solution. Peer to Peer Mode can be used to securely connect branch office servers to the corporate information system. Redundant gateway can offer to remote users a highly reliable secure connection to the corporate network. Redundant gateway feature allows the HotBrick IPSec VPN Client to open an IPSec tunnel with an redundant gateway in case the primary gateway is down or not responding.

-Multi vendor Multi vendor strategy allows us to support as many IPSec VPN Gateways and Routers on the market as possible to offer a true multi-vendor solution to enterprises. This client supports several IPSec VPN gateways like Bewan, Cisco, HotBrick, Linksys, Netgear, Netscreen, SonicWall, Symantec, Zyxel and Linux appliances that support StrongS/WAN or FreeS/WAN. If you are experiencing testing errors or stagging errors, compatibility issues or configuration problems in a multi gateways/routers environment then you want to try the HotBrick IPSec VPN Client.

-Secured import and export functions To allow IT Managers to deploy VPN Configurations securely, import and export functions are available both through the GUI or through direct command line options. These import and export functions may be protected with a password in order to ensure the protection of the VPN Configuration diffusion.
