Deep Edge, a gateway device, provides VPN services not only to laptops or desktops but also mobile devices. Mobile VPN offers support for mobile devices in the “closed” environment of Apple iOS or the “open sourced“ Android.

Deep Edge provides VPN support on iOS and Android devices by utilizing the built-in IPsec VPN clients. No agent installation is required for the mobile devices.

Deep Edge supports the creation of policy profiles that support the “VPN on Demand” feature of iOS. This support offers the ability to push iOS policy profiles to the iOS devices. This enables the iOS device to automatically trigger and establish a VPN connection whenever a corporate resource is accessed.

Mobile VPN supports the following functions:

• User authentication with the corporate LDAP server
• DHCP Server integration of the corporate environments to vend out IP addresses to the remote clients
• Split Tunneling occurs when only corporate traffic is routed via the VPN tunnel and non-corporate traffic is routed via the provider’s network.
• Split DNS occurs when corporate resources are sent to the DNS server residing in the corporate environment via the VPN tunnel. Lookups for non-corporate resources are sent to the provider’s DNS Server.
• Usage of multiple devices by a single user
• Revocation of VPN access for any devices. Revocation is made possible by removing the user credentials from the corporate LDAP Server or local user database
• Management interface for creating and managing policies and monitoring all the activity related to VPN connections including:
  • Active VPN connections per user
  • IP addresses assigned for the connections

Local users added at Administration → End User Management → Local User are accepted by mobile VPN, SSL VPN, and PPTP VPN.
