Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connectivity Software
ExtendNet VPN Remote Access Server
Overview
The information in this application note was provided by Mike Stone,
Systems Engineer, Extended Systems Inc., 5777 North Meeker Ave., Boise, ID

This application note describes how to install and use the ExtendNet VPN to
manage PC-to-LAN Virtual Private Network connections. By simply dialing a
local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and using the industry-standard Point-to-
Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), remote users can access their LAN (and,
consequently, Citrix MetaFrame server) as if physically connected. All
authentication from the Internet, encryption of packets, decryption of packets, and
management of users is processed by the ExtendNet VPN server.
The primary benefits of utilizing the ExtendNet VPN for managing PC-to-LAN
(MetaFrame server) connections are:
Security. ExtendNet VPN shields your mission-critical MetaFrame server from
direct Internet access. Anyone desiring access to the MetaFrame server MUST
authenticate to the ExtendNet VPN first. This keeps the Windows/MetaFrame
server safely behind the ExtendNet VPN, further reducing the risk of attack from
the Internet. PPTP provides 40-bit (the maximum allowed internationally) or 128-
bit (domestic maximum) encryption keys. The ExtendNet VPN is also a dedicated
hardware platform with a proprietary “hardened” operating system with a reduced
code set versus a commercially available operating system, such as Windows
2000.
Performance. The ExtendNet VPN offloads the tasks of encryption and
decryption from the MetaFrame server. The ExtendNet VPN is hardware
optimized to maximize throughput and decrease the utilization levels of the
MetaFrame server.
