High Availability
WatchGuard High Availability software lets you install a
second, standby Firebox on your network. If your primary
Firebox fails, the second Firebox automatically takes over
to give your customers, business partners, and employees
virtually uninterrupted access to your protected network.
Mobile User VPN
Mobile User VPN is the WatchGuard IPSec implementa-
tion of remote user virtual private networking. Mobile
User VPN connects an employee on the road or working
from home to the trusted and optional networks behind a
Firebox Vclass using a standard Internet connection, with-
out compromising security. VPN traffic is encrypted using
DES or 3DES.
