A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and decides whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a defined set of security rules. A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted network and an untrusted network, such as the Internet. The application offers stateful firewall with support for IPv4 and IPv6 and live view on blocked or passed traffic.
A virtual private network, or VPN, is an encrypted connection over the Internet from a device to a network. The encrypted connection helps ensure that sensitive data is safely transmitted. It prevents unauthorized people from eavesdropping on the traffic and allows the user to conduct work remotely. Integrated support for IPsec (including route based), OpenVPN as well as pluggable support for Tinc (full mesh VPN) and WireGuard.
Hardware Failover allows a second unit to function in an idle role and act as a backup device. When you cannot afford downtime use our automatic and seamless hardware failover with state synchronization utilizing the common address redundancy protocol (CARP) to get the highest possible availability.
An intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) is a network monitoring strategy that works by both passively monitoring traffic and actively blocking suspicious or malicious behavior once it is flagged.
