Adds an additional layer of protection for VPN services by keeping the relevant ports hidden from unauthorized access and port scans until the required authentication process has been completed.
✓ Advanced Routing & Network Management
Advanced WAN/LAN, VLAN, routing and network policy capabilities provide greater control over the business network infrastructure.
VigorShield
Security Built into the Router
With VigorShield, security is applied directly at the network gateway. The router acts as a central point of protection, applying security services before threats can reach LAN devices — without requiring an additional security appliance.
