• IPSec over HTTPS* – With this innovative extension, VPN now works even where IPSec VPN formerly failed because of VPN filters (e. g. blocking of port 500 for IKE). IPsec over HTTPS requires at least version 2.22 of the LANCOM Advanced VPN Client. This version is available as a free Update for customers currently using version 2.2, or as a free, 30 day trial version.
