Robust Security
BiGuard IPSec VPN Client supports a wide range of tunneling protocols and authentication such as full IPSec support, Data Encryption Standard (DES), 3DES and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). It also supports full Internet Key Exchange (IKE - Main mode and Aggressive mode); Message-Digest Algorithm (MD5), and Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA). Peer-to-Peer mode can be used to securely connect branch office servers to the corporate information system.

Management Options
Configuration and parameters are stored in a unique file. Thus, deploying BiGuard VPN Client is as easy as copying a file. Moreover, varies management tools allow administrators to control when and how BiGuard VPN Client should run.

Comprehensive Compatibility
It provides secure access to corporate network via wireless, broadband, and dial-up connections. It is utilized to support Billion’s BiGuard series, BiPAC 85xx series, BiPAC 75xx, BiPAC 7402, BiPAC 7402G and other VPN enabled devices.

How the "Auto-open VPN tunnel" feature works?
- Plug in your USB Stick
- The "Auto-open VPN Tunnels when plug in" feature of the VPN Client will decrypt
security elements from the USB Stick and open configured tunnels.
An USB Stick is an USB flash drive at the size of your car key. All formats work
(e.g. SD, MS, SM, MMC, CF). You can buy USB Sticks in any electronic retail stores.
