VPN Client is a software-based package that allows for
encryption in cooperation with the Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows 2000, or Windows NT TCP/IP stack. This configuration
permits true virtual private networking and allows you to form
encrypted tunnels to other VPN device series products. This
provides desktop-to-gateway security within a local area
network or across any wide area network.
Because all HP VPN products operate at the network layer, the
VPN Client is completely transparent to users and works with
most applications. Users can dial in to any Internet service
provider (ISP) and use the VPN Client to create a secure channel
back to your network, which eliminates the need for expensive
dial-in equipment and toll-charges.
The VPN Client allows you to create and configure tunnels
through which encrypted data can travel safely without risk of
tampering. After connecting to your local ISP or company LAN,
only the IP traffic that the VPN Client is configured to process
passes down the tunnel to the opposing VPN device. All other IP
activities, such as Web browsing, cannot pass down the tunnel
unless the VPN Client determines otherwise.
