It is designed for enterprise IT departments and organizations that need to provide employees with secure connectivity to internal resources from external locations.

Which VPN protocols does WatchGuard Mobile VPN support?

WatchGuard Firebox appliances support Mobile VPN options including IKEv2, SSL, and L2TP, with availability depending on the Fireware configuration. The administrator must configure the matching method on the Firebox before a client can connect.

Is WatchGuard Mobile VPN the same as a consumer privacy VPN?
