VPN Firewall

USG20-VPN/USG20W-VPN

Safer, more reliable VPN connections

Faster processors today have vastly boosted the capabilities of attackers to decrypt VPN tunnels. Legacy VPN cryptographic algorithms like Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) are no longer sufficient to guarantee secure outbound communications. With supports to the more advanced Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2), the VPN Firewall provides the safest VPN connections in its class to ensure maximum security for business communications.

The complete range of Zyxel VPN Firewalls deliver reliable, non-stop VPN services with dual-WAN failover and fallback support. With two WAN connections-one primary and one for redundancy-the Zyxel VPN Firewall automatically switches to the backup connection should the primary link fail, and automatically switches back to the primary connection once it is back online. To support dynamic, mobile business operations in today’s BYOD (bring your own device) business environments, the VPN Firewalls offer unlimited business mobility with Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) VPN for mobile devices. The VPN Firewall supports L2TP/IPSec on a wide variety of mobile Internet devices running the iOS, Android and Windows mobile platforms.

Zero-configuration remote access

Virtual private networks provide businesses a secure and convenient way of sharing company resources with partners, customers, or employees on business trips. Yet typical VPN solutions are hard for non-technical users to configure, which greatly reduces their usability and convenience. The Zyxel VPN Firewalls feature Easy VPN to provide auto-provisioned client-to-site IPsec VPN setup. A wizard is available with the Zyxel IPsec VPN client-software that automatically retrieves the VPN configuration file from the remote Zyxel VPN Firewall and completes the IPsec VPN setup in 3 simple steps. Zyxel’s Easy VPN lowers administration effort and allows partner, customers, or traveling employees to access company servers, email, or data centers easily and securely.

Swift and Secure Firmware Upgrades

Locating firmware updates – not to mention identifying correct versions for your device and managing their installation – can be a complex and confusing ordeal. The Zyxel VPN Firewall solves this with its new Cloud Helper service. Cloud Helper provides a simple step to look for up-to-date firmware information. New firmware is immediately made available upon release from our official database to ensure its authenticity and reliability.

Simplified management procedure

Managing complex configuration settings can be confusing and time-consuming. Zyxel USG 20-VPN and USG20W-VPN provides an “easy mode” setting in the GUI for entry-level and SOHO users. Easy mode provides an icon-based feature set and attractive dashboard to simplify management and monitoring of the device. Application and function settings also have integrated wizards for user-friendly setup.
