Typical Aurorean Virtual Network
Aurorean Client Software
The Aurorean Client Software is a Windows-based application that provides
remote users with a simple and efficient means of accessing the corporate
network by creating a tunnel through the Internet. Aurorean Client builds
tunnel connections in two stages: first it dials into an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) office (known as a point-of-presence, or POP), and then
negotiates a secure connection with the Aurorean Network Gateway located
on the corporate network. For more information on the Aurorean Client, refer
to the Aurorean Client Software User’s Guide or Quick Reference Card.
