What types of VPNs can be configured on a WatchGuard Firebox?

The WatchGuard Firebox supports both site-to-site and client VPNs, making it a versatile solution for secure remote access and site connectivity.

Site-to-site VPNs are essential for connecting multiple networks over the internet securely, allowing branch offices or remote locations to communicate as if they were on the same local network. This type of VPN is configured to create a secure tunnel between two different networks, ensuring data is transmitted safely between them.

Client VPNs, on the other hand, provide individual users the ability to connect to the network securely from remote locations. This is particularly useful for employees working from home or traveling, allowing them to access resources on the company's network as if they were physically present in the office.

By supporting both types of VPNs, the Firebox allows organizations to implement flexible connectivity options that meet their specific security and access needs. This capability enhances the overall security posture and operational efficiency of the organization.
