eSoft InstaGate VPN Management for Virtual Private Network Security

Whether your organization has one or several locations, remote workers or large numbers of traveling employees, the InstaGate makes it easier and faster to deploy large-scale VPNs and manage them from a central location. InstaGate's Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) , Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support enables exceptionally secure and reliable connections providing site-to-site VPN tunnels as well as allowing remote users to connect to a network using the VPN client bundled with any version of Microsoft Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. Additionally, the Virtual Private Network Manager enables central management of an entire distributed network of InstaGate appliances from a single workstation, reducing demands on IT support staff.

VPN Manager

VPN Manager is eSoft's global VPN management solution that makes it simple to centrally manage a distributed network of InstaGate security appliances and mobile users from one location. With just a single operation, large scale VPNs can be created for an entire organization, securely connecting corporate headquarters, branch offices, remote users and partner extranets. VPN Manager speeds up and simplifies VPN deployment, reduces IT resource requirements and ultimately lowers the overall cost of building and managing a VPN.

Companies are using virtual private networks to reduce data communication costs, whether sharing resources over a geographically distributed network or enabling mobile workers to connect while on the road. Managing a VPN, however, can be a challenging task that is complicated, time-consuming, and prone to error. Our VPN solution drastically reduces the complexity of VPN management and enables virtual private network tunnels to be rapidly built and managed from one location.

The VPN Manager integrates seamlessly with the InstaGate product family, meaning no additional hardware expenditures are required. Administered through an intuitive user interface, VPN Manager uses industry-standard security technology (IPsec and PKI) to ensure reliability and iron-clad security. And because the eSoft VPN Manager supports dynamic network environments, network gateways with dynamic IP addresses can easily connect to a VPN. Policies are stored on the management server and distributed to devices and users over the Internet.

Internet Protocol Security - IPSec

The InstaGate uses industry-standard IPSec protocols to connect VPNs. It is fully inter-operable with other IPSec VPNs and has relatively small overhead keeping it speedy and secure for your business.

NAT Traversal and Forwarding

For those networks that already have VPN appliances, the InstaGate supports VPN Forwarding and IPSec NAT Traversal.

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

PPTP is a VPN protocol that ships with all major operating systems and allows a remote user to connect to the InstaGate and the corporate network. Setup on the client side is simple: a server, username and password are all that are required. On the InstaGate, setup is even simpler.

Secure Sockets Layer VPN (SSL)

SSL VPN is a client based virtual private network protocol.  eSoft SSL VPN provides an easy to use solution for the remote worker or travelling employee.  It allows employees to strongly authenticate to the eSoft InstaGate.  Once authenticated, they are given secure access to the business network through an encrypted tunnel between their PC and the eSoft InstaGate.  This protects all communications between the internal company network and the user in addition to ensuring that the traffic is protected against malware and unauthorized web access.
