CHAPTER1 INTRODUCTION
ZyXEL‘s VFG6005 Series VPN Firewall Gateway is designed for small/home offices that need an entry level Firewall to
protect their data from Internet threats and exploits. VPN support allows for a secure method to access the Local Area
Network remotely on your laptop while on the road or to another office using a site-to-site tunnel to another VFG6005
series VPN Firewall Gateway. You can also create a secure mobile broadband hotspot anytime anywhere for a group of
users and devices to share by using a Mobile Cellular USB modem. Since the mobile broadband is shared, this allows you
to share the cost among several devices instead of being tied to a single PC or laptop. Furthermore, ZyXEL‘s VFG6005
Series VPN Firewall Gateway also supports 802.11n technology (VFG6005N), so you can enjoy the fastest and farthest
