Web Authentication Capabilities

The Captive Portal feature is a powerful tool that allows businesses to control who can access their network. When a user attempts to connect to the network, they are redirected to a landing page where they must enter their credentials. This landing page can be customized to reflect the branding of the business, which adds a professional touch and helps to build brand recognition.

The authentication process itself is highly flexible, allowing businesses to choose from a variety of authentication methods. For example, if a business already has a Microsoft Windows Active Directory in place, they can use that to authenticate users. Alternatively, if they don't have an Active Directory, they can use a local database, RADIUS, LDAP, NT Domain, or POP3 server instead.

Complete and Robust VPN Features

One of the standout features of this product is its ability to provide mobile workers and branch offices with a secure link to the network through a virtual private network (VPN). This feature enables remote workers to securely access a central corporate database, which is critical for businesses that have employees who work from home or are frequently on the move.

The DSR-250v2 router offers a range of VPN options to cater to different needs. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels and Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels are available, giving businesses the flexibility to choose the method that best suits their requirements. SSL VPN is particularly useful for mobile users who need to connect to the network via a web browser, while GRE tunnels are great for branch offices that require secure access to the network.

Site-to-site VPN tunnels can be created using the IP Sec Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). This enables branch offices to connect to the network securely through encrypted virtual links. This feature is particularly useful for businesses with multiple locations that need to share data between them.

OpenVPN is another great feature of this product that enables mobile users to connect to the Intranet via encrypted links with their PC, laptops, or mobile devices. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that have employees who frequently work remotely or need to access the network while on the move.

Overall, the Complete and Robust VPN Features of this product are a powerful tool that provide businesses with a high degree of flexibility and security when it comes to managing access to their network. By combining a range of VPN options with ease-of-use and powerful features, this product is a must-have for any business that wants to provide secure access to their network.

Web Content Filtering

The Static Web Content Filtering feature of the DSR-250v2 router is designed to help protect businesses against security threats by removing malicious objects such as Java applets, ActiveX, and cookies, or blocking URLs by keyword. This feature helps ensure that employees are not accessing harmful content that could put the company at risk.

The Dynamic Web Content Filtering feature provides businesses with even greater control over Internet usage. This feature enables administrators to filter content from a list of categories, such as social networking, gaming, or streaming media. This helps ensure that employees are using the Internet for work-related purposes and not wasting company time or resources.

The DSR-250v2 router also comes equipped with multiple global index servers with millions of URLs and real-time website data. This feature enhances performance and maximizes service availability by ensuring that employees have fast and reliable access to the content they need. The index servers are constantly updated with real-time website data, which ensures that businesses have the latest information and are protected against emerging threats.

Additionally, the DSR-250v2 router is highly scalable, which means that it can grow with your business. As your business expands and your Internet usage increases, the Web Content Filtering feature can be easily upgraded to support additional users and bandwidth.

Application Control

The Application Control feature enhances security by allowing businesses to only allow certain types of network traffic for predefined applications. This feature helps to accurately shape network traffic by either giving priority or applying control policies to effectively manage network utilization.

The DSR-250v2 router uses packet inspection and a database of application signatures based on the application’s network usage patterns to give complete control over the content delivered to end users. This means that businesses can ensure that their network traffic is secure and optimized, without sacrificing performance.

The DSR-250v2's Application Control feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to prioritize traffic for certain applications or ensure that bandwidth is not being used for non-business related purposes. For example, a business may want to give priority to VoIP traffic to ensure that call quality is maintained, while limiting the bandwidth available for streaming video services.

The DSR-250v2's database of application signatures is constantly updated, which ensures that businesses have the latest information on emerging threats and network usage patterns. This helps ensure that businesses are protected against new and emerging threats and have the information they need to make informed decisions about how to manage their network traffic.
