In this setup, only traffic destined to the company's LAN is sent through the VPN tunnel (encrypted) while all other traffic (Internet) is routed normally as it would if the user was not connected to the company VPN. Split tunneling is a feature that allows a remote VPN client access the company's LAN, but at the same time surf the Internet. The Cisco VPN also introduces the concept of ‘Split Tunneling'. Cisco VPN Clients are available for download from our Cisco Downloads section. To initiate the connection, we use the Cisco VPN client, available for Windows operating systems (XP, Vista, Windows 7 - 32 & 64bit), Linux, Mac OS X10.4 & 10.5 and Solaris UltraSPARC (32 & 64bit), making it widely available for most users around the globe. All that is required is fast Internet connection and your user credentials to log in – all the rest are taken care by your Cisco router or firewall appliance.
The flexibility of having remote access to our corporate network and its resources literally from anywhere in the world, has proven extremely useful and in many cases irreplaceable. Remote VPN access is an extremely popular service amongst Cisco routers and ASA Firewalls.
