gateProtect offers the most commonly used forms of current site-to-site and Road Warrior VPN connections via IPSec and SSL. Wizards and the eGUI® technology help with the management and set up of these connections. In addition, the firewall generates external configuration files when the VPN connections are created. These files can be used for setting up single click connections and also for site-to-site connections when importing on the firewall at a remote site.

Furthermore, gateProtect offers an IPSec and SSL site-to-site solution with X.509 certificates which can work in bridge mode as an option. For a normal bridge, two or more network cards are linked to form a logical network. gateProtect not only allows this for network cards but also for VPN-over-SSL connections. This makes it possible to treat remote computers as if they were in the local network.
