IPSec Client Solution
The D-Link VPN Client Software is an easy-to-use, secure and economical IPSec client. Designed for IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) products, each computer running this VPN client can instantly connect to D-Link IPSec-enabled gateways, such as D-Link VPN routers and NetDefend firewalls over a wired or wireless network, the Internet or a private network.
In addition, D-Link’s VPN client is VPNC (VPN Consortium) Certified to ensure compatibility with other approved manufacturers’ firewall hardware. When a connection is established between the VPN firewall and the VPN client, all data traversing the network is protected by the latest encryption algorithms to ensure maximum security.
