What Is the ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall
SRX5308?
The ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308, hereafter referred to as the
VPN firewall, connects your local area network (LAN) to the Internet through up to four
external broadband access devices such as cable modems or DSL modems. Four wide area
network (WAN) ports allow you to increase effective data rate to the Internet by utilizing all
WAN ports to carry session traffic or to maintain backup connections in case of failure of your
primary Internet connection.
The VPN firewall is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and
intrusions. For example, the VPN firewall provides support for stateful packet inspection
(SPI), denial of service (DoS) attack protection, and multi-NAT support. The VPN firewall
supports multiple web content filtering options, plus browsing activity reporting and instant
alerts—both via email. Network administrators can establish restricted access policies based
on time of day, website addresses, and address keywords.
The VPN firewall provides advanced IPSec and SSL VPN technologies for secure and
simple remote connections. The use of Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN ports ensures
extremely high data transfer speeds.
The VPN firewall is a plug-and-play device that can be installed and configured within
minutes.
