ViPNet Client

ViPNet Client has to be installed on each computer participating in the ViPNet network.

Due to its easy installation process, its automatic detection of network settings, its pre-defined security levels and intuitive user interface, ViPNet Client can be used by inexperienced users.

ViPNet Client includes:

an integrated personal firewall with an IDS (Intruder Detection System) and Applications Control functions
a TCP/IP encipherer
a set of very useful integrated communication applications and other service functions.

Note: The above list also applies to ViPNet Coordinator.

One of the most important features of ViPNet Client is its full control of traffic during the computer start-up process. This control is accomplished by the direct collaboration between the ViPNet driver and the drivers of the network adapters. Windows only uses one service during its start-up process; this process is taken control by ViPNet Client, which secures the system from the start. The ViPNet logon procedure, including the application and key initialization, occurs before the windows logon (ie. before any other Windows services start).

As a result, the ViPNet driver is first to get control under the TCP/IP stack. The driver provides its readiness to encrypt and filter traffic before initializing the network adapters' drivers. This ensures a secure connection with the domain-controller, the control of applications running on the computer, and the blocking of unwanted packets from the outside. At the moment the operating system starts, ViPNet also checks its own check sums, warranting the integrity of software, key sets and the applications for which network activity is allowed.

ViPNet Client can be installed on most Windows computers regardless of it being a desktop, remote/mobile laptop or a server to secure their traffic.

The main window of the client is ViPNet Client [Monitor]. From this window you can configure and manage the client.
