Product Positioning
Ease of use VPN and Internet access:
The VRT-311S VPN connectivity supports VPN Pass-through, client-to-VPN gateway and VPN LAN-to-LAN connections. Using these connection capabilities, mobile workers may attach to and access LAN resources from the public Internet while they are working at home or at branches abroad. The NAT and router capabilities provide full connection sharing abilities.

Multiple use of LAN to LAN/WAN access:
Multiple VPN tunnels are supported, allowing a widespread multi-node corporate network. All corporate offices can deploy a VRT-311S and establish secure connection with headquarters and share resources and information through the Internet in a safe and secure way.

VPN Support
Full IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) support: MD5-HMAC/SHA1-HMAC and certificate authentication, DES-CBC, 3DES-CBC, AES encryption, Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and Manual Key Negotiation. VPN tunneling Capability of VRT-311S can be configured up to 10 virtual private tunnels over the Internet.

VPN Pass Through Support
PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

Microsoft VPN Support
Microsoft VPN uses the Microsoft VPN Adapter which is provided in recent versions of Windows. This feature can be used to provide remote access to your LAN by individual PCs. Using Microsoft VPN pro-vides easier setup than using IPSec VPN.

LAN / Internet Access
Share one user IP address for everyone on your LAN. In the meantime, using VPN site-to-site connectivity, branch or mobile workers are allowed to access enterprise networks via a secure connection from anywhere around the world.

Stateful Inspection Firewall
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

Protection against DoS attacks
DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. VRT-311S incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Rule-based Policy Firewall
To provide additional protection against malicious packets, you can define your own firewall rules. This can also be used to control the Internet services available to LAN users.

Virtual Server & Internet application capability
The Virtual server enables the VRT-311S to share local resources such as email, FTP or HTTP servers in a more convenient way. The DMZ capability helps LAN servers to act as an independent Internet node that communicates to the Internet in both directions while maintaining security for LAN users.In the meantime, the VRT-311S supports various Internet communication applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to configure behind a Firewall.
