Merlin VPN/Router

Why Do I Need a VPN/Router?

  • Remote Access - Do you have multiple office locations that need to communicate computer to computer in a secure manner? Install Merlin VPNs at each location to get state-of-the-art security and speed between your offices.

  • Cost - Currently using a private dial-up to communicate with remote offices? The Internet is free! Immediately cut your costs drastically.

  • Routing/Firewall - Merlin is also a router. So connect Merlin to your Internet and run multiple workstations on a local network behind Merlin. Then turn Merlin's firewall on to protect your local workstations.

  • Growth - When you are ready, you can activate other Merlin modules to turn your VPN unit into an active Internet server. Run your web site, email accounts, online store. It is all there - just waiting for activation!
