Through cooperation with manufacturer WatchGuard, VPN Tracker 5.1 simplifies the configuration of VPN connections to WatchGuard Firebox gateways.

VPN Tracker 5.1 supports client provisioning with WatchGuard devices and enables administrators to roll out VPN access more quickly for many users. VPN Tracker 5.1 now works with the easier-to-configure Mobile User VPN. VPN Tracker 5.1 client provisioning is fully compatible with WatchGuard’s current Peak and Core product lines.

VPN Tracker Users Benefit Twice Over

“We are excited to make VPN Tracker even more attractive to our customers together with WatchGuard. It has never been more convenient to set up a virtual private network for multiple users with VPN Tracker with so little configuration effort,” says equinux CEO Till Schadde. “Through the cooperation with WatchGuard, VPN Tracker users benefit from two strong partners at once.”

“We are pleased to offer WatchGuard users genuine added value with VPN Tracker 5.1. System administrators of mixed networks in particular benefit from Mobile User VPN and consistent client provisioning,” says Michael Haas, Regional Sales Manager at WatchGuard Germany. “Our high-end users with Peak devices, but also Core devices, particularly benefit fully from VPN Tracker 5.1.”
