KerioControl

Download free for 30 days

Enable your remote workers with a VPN

 Kerio Control is one of the industry’s simplest, cost-effective and yet robust firewall, threat management and VPN choices available for SMBs. Organizations that require VPNs have at least a basic level of network complexity, and typically, some experience in managing networks and network technologies.

VPN with Kerio Control

Kerio Control does not create a VPN by itself. It is a firewall gateway that enables and manages connections between remote workers and your secure network. Kerio Control is available as an all-in-one hardware appliance with the software built-in, or as software that must be installed on a physical or virtual machine connected to your network. This is the version currently offered for 30-days, free.
