We use WatchGuard Network Security to protect our users from outside threats. We also use the VPN to allow our accountant to securely access our network so that they can assist the accounting department when they need help.

Pros

  • VPN security is robust and gives several different options for encryption.
  • The ability to limit sites that our users access is a great help.

Cons

  • The VPN setup was not clear and even support had trouble figuring out how to resolve my issue.
  • not sure how to answer this question
