A VPN over Access Point makes it Suitable for remote employees to connect securely to their company’s network. Instead of using complicated VPN software, it creates a private, encrypted tunnel between a WatchGuard Cloud-managed Access Point and a cloud-managed Firebox firewall. This ensures that all data shared between the two stays protected and confidential.

This access point VPN solution uses the IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange Version 2) protocol to build a strong and reliable connection — without requiring any manual setup from the user. Once configured, all traffic passing through the access point is automatically protected, giving remote workers secure access to company data and applications.

At the moment, VPN over Access Point is supported only with cloud-managed Firebox devices. Even so, it’s a simple and dependable option for giving remote teams enterprise-grade security, without all the extra steps that most VPN setups require.
