The VPN 5000 Client connects a remote user to a corporate network.
The user connects to their local Internet Service Provider (ISP), then to the VPN 5000 Concentrator Internet IP address, using the VPN Client to create a secure tunnel, to send IP packets between the remote user and the corporate network.
The VPN Client encrypts the data and encapsulates it into a routable IPsec packet.
The corporate server authenticates the user, decrypts and authenticates the IPsec packet, and translates the source address in the packets to an address recognized on the corporate network. This address is used for all traffic sent from the corporate network to the remote user for the duration of the connection.
The VPN 5000 Client distinguishes between tunneled and non-tunneled traffic and, depending on your server configuration, allows simultaneous access to the corporate network and to Internet resources.
The VPN client communicates over PPP (Linux only) links, including dial-up and ISDN, and over Internet-attached Ethernet connections, including DSL and cable modem.
