Branch Office VPN

Connect separate sites together with an encrypted link.

Linking remote sites with a main office lets users send and receive information via a secure connection. Employees can use file servers and printers which are not physically in the same office. With Astaro, users can link hundreds of sites together via VPN connection without any experience setting up VPN networks or knowledge about how they work.

Astaro’s Branch Office VPN provides visual views for tunnel status and a clear overview of what sites are connected.

Use Astaro for trouble free, stable connectivity. Remote locations benefit from a direct link to the company HQ and with each other. Tunnels can fall-back and re-establish across a different available Internet connection during outages. Choices are available whether to fully share the computers in both networks or make rules which limit what can travel over the tunnel(s). Our product supports host names for tunnels and with a built-in Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) client. Users can connect everything with public or private IP addresses using multiple Internet connections. The Astaro Command Center product can be used to build VPN tunnels across dozens or hundreds of devices from a central GUI.

Astaro’s Branch Office VPN application includes a broad range of standardized tunneling protocols and technologies allowing for securely connecting multiple offices via the Internet:
