DrayTek launches high-speed dual-WAN security firewall

ENGLAND, UK: DrayTek has launched a new high-speed dual-Ethernet load-balancing router/firewall - the Vigor 2925 series.

With firewall performance of up to 300 Mb/s the product is ideally suited to super fast broadband from BT Infinity (FTTC), high speed cable broadband from Virgin Media and other higher speed Internet services.

The Vigor 2925 series also includes many professional business features such as VLAN tagging, Gigabit Ethernet switching and built in wireless networking.

In addition the Vigor 2925 series provides two USB ports that may be used for 3G/4G support via a dongle. All of the WAN (Internet) connectivity can be used simultaneously to increase your overall bandwidth (load balancing) or set to backup (failover) mode so that your secondary Internet connection methods kick-in when your primary one fails.

VPN capacity is enhanced compared to previous models with 50 x VPN and 25 x SSL VPN tunnels available. These come as standard with no additional licencing costs per-user. This makes the product ideal as a VPN concentrator for connecting branches, home workers and employees travelling away from the office.

SSL VPN is a client-less method of secure tunnelling suitable for use on shared, temporary or ‘web-café' computers where IPSec clients cannot be installed or where other protocols are blocked.
