Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs are being incorporated today on many different platforms to achieve the same goal. To communicate securely across an unsecure network.

Most firewall and security implementations today utilize either IPSec protocol, or a proprietary protocol such as Microsoft's PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol).

Our VPN solution is based on opensource blowfish encryption algorithms distributed in the CIPE VPN package. This protocol is a propietary point to point tunneling protocol which encrypts tcp packets and encapsulates them into a udp packet. The result is invisible tcp traffic. Not only is your application traffic between two WAN locations encrypted, it's invisible to the internet, or other unsecure medium. This scheme is directed primarily at clients who require remote connections to other corporate networks.

Scenario: You have an office in New York City, and an office in Rochester. A private line carrier may charge anywhere from $1200.00 to $2500.00 high speed dedicated connection between your sites. The inexpensive alternative is an internet connection at both ends, and a VPN tunnel providing secure, encrypted communication between sites.

Our products also support PPTP, IPSec, and SSH-PPP VPN tunnels as a customized option when requested by the client. Such protocols may be more suited for remote user access through a SOHO internet appliance, or direct VPN from a Windows PC.
