Remote Access VPN

Question

We have implemented RED devices on a couple of branch offices . 
 Users of those offices need to access some servers from outside , previously they opened a VPN connection directly to the branch office , 
 Is this still possible with RED or do they have to connect to the UTM central firewall and be routed to the server on their branch offices ? 
 thanks

Hi Stefano, 
 RED devices cannot act as an endpoint for remote access VPN. Users will need to connect with UTM and the routes can be defined in the UTM configurations. 
 Thanks

This is one of the reasons I often recommend an SG 105 or 115 with Network Protection instead of a RED. Don't get me wrong, the RED 15 has its place and is a great bargain for such a powerful tool.

Hi Stefano, 
 You can communicate with the server on another RED network when the two end RED networks are connected together. In this case, you need to route the traffic through UTM.
