New, up-to-the-minute, security: The IKEv2 VPN server application is now live. IKEv2 stands for Internet Key Exchange, version 2 (this VPN protocol is also referred to as IKEv2/IPsec, but as IKEv2 is never implemented without the IPsec encryption layer, it is generally shortened to just IKEv2). IKEv2 is one of the newest security protocols, with high speed, and with VPN clients available for all desktop and mobile platforms. [NDW-1208]
Improved
