Linksys QuickVPN is a unique combination of software for your PC
and intelligence embedded in special Linksys routers to make the
usually complex VPN connection process quick and easy. VPN
"tunnels" create secure links between traveling or off-site users
and your home or small office network. Unfortunately, creating
these secure connections can be somewhat confusing.
To get started with QuickVPN, you simply enter your authorized
users into the router's list. The router natively supports up to
five users -- with this firmware upgrade and license, that number
expands to fifty. After your users are registered with the router,
the QuickVPN client software works with the VPN connectivity of
Windows 2000 or XP to easily establish the tunnels -- the traveling
user only needs his username, password, and the address of the
router.
QuickVPN lets your off-site workers spend their time getting work
done, not hassling with their connection settings.
