Netgear FVS338 ProSafe VPN Firewall

50 VPN Tunnels for Encrypted Remote Access
NETGEAR's ProSafe® VPN Firewall with dial back-up is an SNMP-manageable, high-performance network solution that furnishes multidimensional security. Fully equipped and broadband-capable,this virtual private network (VPN) firewall comes with connection insurance: a built-in serial port for dial-up access. This practical feature means your business can maintain operation if your broadband Internet connection fails. It lets you retain an analog modem for emergency backup and also provides a migration path from analog to broadband, making the transition effortless.

High on security, this true firewall provides denial-of-service (DoS) protection using stateful packet inspection (SPI), URL keyword filtering, logging, reporting, and real-time alerts. It supports up to 50 IPsec VPN tunnels simultaneously using public key infrastructure (PKI), reducing your operating costs and improving the security of your network. With 8 auto-sensing, Auto Uplink™ switched LAN ports and Network Address Translation (NAT) routing, it allows the network a great foundation for growth.

Thoroughly Protected
The FV338 takes care of all your security needs, with support up to 50 IPsec VPN tunnels simultaneously, SPI firewall, denial-of-service (DoS) attack protection and multiple VPN pass-through for extra security. SYSLOG and email reporting enable thorough network monitoring. IKE authentication provides peace of mind against unauthorized VPN network access. The ProSafe VPN Firewall provides optimal value and defense against network security threats.

Easy to Use
Auto Detect connects to your ISP quickly; the user-friendly Web-based configuration screen and install assistant reduce setup time. The VPN Wizard automates VPN configuration and secure remote administration via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) making it simple to connect to multiple sites. Support for DHCP (client and server) as well as PPPoE allows for easy, widespread deployment. This well-built firewall has an integrated 8-port 10/100 Mbps switch and is compatible with Windows®, UNIX®, Macintosh®, and Linux® O/S.
