With the growth of the Internet, malicious attacks are happening every minute, and intruders are trying to access your network, using expensive resources and threatening enterprise network security is necessary.

PLANET Technology is now offering users a cost effective, worry-free solution --- the PLANET VRT-401, a hardware-based, highly integrated VPN solution combining high-speed, industry-leading routing technology with a comprehensive suite of advanced, client-to-VPN gateway, LAN-to-LAN VPN solutions.

With the built-in connection wizard (DHCP, fixed IP, PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS) and VPN support (IPSec standards, including IKE and certificates), the PLANET VRT-401 is able to use the most connection types, and meet the most demanding security requirements. For an overall network security, the VRT-401 integrates user access control and policy based plus SPI firewall protection, offering high efficiency and extensive protection for your network.

With easy integration and full compatibility with existing network infrastructure, the PLANET VRT-401 comprises a 4-port auto-sensing, auto-MDI/MDI-X 10/100Mbps switch, a standard 10/100Base-TX WAN port and a hardware DMZ port providing additional protection for both Servers and LAN side workstations.

Utilizing 56-bit DES and 168-bit 3DES encryption, header authentication, and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) access control, the VRT-401¡¦s full IPSec VPN (virtual Private Network) capability provides complete data security and privacy for access and exchange of sensitive data. Additionally, the built-in VPN acceleration engine in the VRT-401 delivers outstanding VPN tunneling throughput - up to 100 independent Virtual Private Networking tunnels can be established simultaneously. The PLANET VRT-401 offers the security and flexibility to make fast and simple secure network connections.

VPN Support
Full IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) support: MD5-HMAC/SHA1-HMAC and certificate authentication, DES-CBC, 3DES-CBC encryption, Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and Manual Key Negotiation. VPN tunneling Capability of VRT-401 can be configured up to 100 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 provides 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 network via 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-401 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-401 to share local resources such as email, FTP or HTTP servers in a more convenient way. A DMZ capability and an additional hardware DMZ port help 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-401 supports various Internet communication applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to configure behind a Firewall.
