Features and Benefits:
Secure.
The InstaGate EX2 firewall keeps hackers out of an end-user's LAN while the VPN
allows authorized users in. With a transparent HTTP proxy server, stateful inspection and packet filtering firewall technology, InstaGate EX2 prevents unauthorized network
entry and denial of service attacks. The integrated VPN eliminates leased and dial-up line costs making it possible for telecommuters and branch offices to connect to a corporate LAN securely and inexpensively.
Hassle Free Installation with Minimum Maintenance.
InstaGate EX2 requires only five easy steps for complete set up, and in most instances, it is operational in less than 30 minutes. It supports most broadband or narrowband
Internet connections. And all set-up and management is done through a simple Web-browser interface. Most importantly, once installed, it is virtually maintenance free.
Unbeatable Value.
InstaGate EX2 costs the same as many single-function firewalls. Unlike the competition, InstaGate EX2 comes standard with remote user (PPTP) and remote office (IPsec)
VPN, and includes valuable LAN tools such as email, file, and print servers. And because of the extensible architecture, end-users only pay for the services they want as needed.
Extensible.
Engineered with the future in mind, InstaGate EX2 is not a throwaway firewall like others in its price range. As end-users¹ needs grow and become more sophisticated,
InstaGate EX2 readily accommodates, delivering value-added tools and services, and user license upgrades without costly, aggravating hardware swap-outs.
