Understanding VPN
A truly private network is a network where a single entity (e.g., a company) owns all the wires from point A to point B. In a Virtual Private Network (VPN), some part of the path from A to B is a public network (e.g., the Internet or the public telephone system). VPN software technology creates a private “tunnel” through the public network system for your sensitive traffic. Using encryption and authentication methods, a VPN provides security over unsecured media.

VPN Benefits
VPNs provide a very cost-effective means of private communication by using inexpensive local call ISDN or telephone connections (with the Internet as the backbone).

VPN Limitations
Obviously, when a technology incorporates portions of the network that are physically not in its control, there are Quality of Service (QoS) limitations. With a true private network, users can demand a guaranteed QoS from the telephone company or provider. However, this is not as clear-cut with VPNs.

VPN protocols

• Cisco IPSec
• L2TP/IPSec
• PPTP

Authentication methods

• Password (MSCHAPv2)
• RSA SecurID
• CRYPTOCard
• X.509 digital certificates
• Shared secret

VPN Deployment Scenario
The example depicts a typical deployment with a VPN server/concentrator as well as an authentication server controlling access to enterprise network services.

1. iPhone requests access to network services (typically over a PPP connection).
2. The VPN server/concentrator receives the request and then passes it to the authentication server.
3. In a two-factor token environment, the authentication server would then manage a time-synchronized token key generation with the key server. If a certifi cate authentication method is deployed, an identity certifi cate needs to be distributed to iPhone prior to authentication. If a password method is deployed, the authentication process proceeds with user validation.
4. Once a user is authenticated, the authentication server validates user and group policies.

In this user guide, the term Cisco VPN device refers to the following Cisco products:
• Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators
• Cisco Secure PIX Firewall devices
• IOS platform devices, such as the Cisco 7100 Series Routers

The Cisco VPN Client for Windows (referred to in this user guide as VPN Client) is software that runs on a Microsoft® Windows®-based PC. The VPN Client on a remote PC, communicating with a Cisco Easy VPN server on an enterprise network or with a service provider, creates a secure connection over the Internet. Through this connection you can access a private network as if you were an on-site user.

Thus you have a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The server verifies that incoming connections have up-to-date policies in place before establishing them. Cisco IOS, VPN 3000 Series Concentrators, and PIX central-site servers can all terminate VPN connections from VPN Clients. As a remote user (low speed or high speed), you first connect to the Internet. Then you use the VPN Client to securely access private enterprise networks through a Cisco VPN server that supports the VPN
Client.

Introduction

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client for Apple iOS provides seamless and secure remote access to enterprise networks. The client allows any installed application to communicate as though connected directly to the enterprise network.

AVG Network edition scheme

Please review the simplified scheme of AVG Network Editions showing the basic connection and interaction of remote administration components in the default and most common configuration:

1. AVG DataCenter
   consists of a database, and AVG Admin Server. The AVG Admin Server performs the role of a mediator between the AVG DataCenter and AVG stations. The AVG Admin Console uses the AVG Admin Server to approach the AVG DataCenter database, and to centrally define stations’ settings and system parameters. AVG stations approach the AVG Admin Server to read the setup parameters; and to save their currently defined setting and scan results into the AVG DataCenter.
   AVG Admin Server also works as a local update source. If you deploy UpdateProxy role to multiple servers, you can then use them for updating stations and keep the bandwidth/load in balance.

Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot Overview

The Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot (model Vodafone MiFi 2352) allows you more freedom than ever before. No wires, no cables, just access to your data when you need it. Plus the hotspot can simultaneously support up to five WLAN enabled devices, depending on your setup.

You can securely connect virtually any WLAN enabled device to the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot for a total mobile Internet experience. Surf the Web, download files and music, share photos, manage e-mail, and more.

In addition you can use the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot in USB modem mode (single user mode with no WLAN access) by plugging it into a USB port on your computer.
