ePipe VPN and Security Family Product Documentation: Key Networking Concepts

ePipe VPN and Security Family:
Key Networking Concepts

Introduction

Unlike other router, VPN gateway or firewall products, ePipe contains a truly unique guided setup. It configures and supports the following features simultaneously :-

Shared Internet Access (SIA) with I2B and NAT
Packet filtering
Secure Remote Access (SRA) for remote VPN clients using PPTP
Site to Site VPN (SSV) using IPSec, E2B, dynamic bandwidth management

The ePipe guided setup eliminates possible conflicts between the types of traffic allowed to flow through the ePipe from or to the Internet. Little user input is required, shielding them from a range of complex network traffic-related decisions which normally need to be made.

Before using ePipe and any additional feature sets, you should be familiar with the following key networking concepts which give a more in-depth explanation of networking fundamentals, concepts and scenarios. For a further explanation and definition of terms used, refer to the Glossary of Terms.
