VPN Tunneling

The VPN tunneling access option (formerly called Network Connect) provides a VPN user experience, serving as an additional remote access mechanism to corporate resources using Ivanti Connect Secure. This feature supports all Internet-access modes, including dial-up, broadband, and LAN scenarios, from the client machine and works through client-side proxies and firewalls that allow SSL traffic.

When a user launches VPN tunneling, the system transmits all traffic to and from the client over the secure VPN tunnel. The only exception is for traffic initiated by other system-enabled features, such as Web browsing and file browsing. If you do not want to enable other system features for certain users, create a user role for which only the VPN tunneling option is enabled and make sure that users mapped to this role are not also mapped to other roles that enable other system features.

For details about the configuration, refer to the VPN Tunneling Configuration Guide.
