VPN

Reyee VPN is a versatile tool used to create secure connections over the internet. It supports various VPN protocols, including OpenVPN, IPsec, and L2TP.

  1. OpenVPN: Allows for secure remote access and site-to-site connections. It supports different authentication methods, such as account-based, certificate-based, or both.

  2. IPsec: Provides secure communication between two sites or between a client and a site. It uses pre-shared keys for authentication and supports both IKEv1 and IKEv2 for key exchange.

  3. L2TP: Often used for client-to-site and site-to-site VPNs. It requires configuration on both the server and client sides to establish a secure tunnel.

Reyee VPN is commonly used in scenarios where secure access to company resources is needed from remote locations or between multiple company sites.

 

Guest Wi-Fi

Reyee Guest Wi-Fi is a feature that allows you to provide internet access to visitors without giving them access to your main network.

This setup is particularly useful for businesses or households that frequently have visitors requiring internet access but want to maintain network security.

  • Isolation: It creates a separate network for guests, ensuring they can't access your personal devices or files.

  • Security: By isolating guest traffic, it helps protect your main network from potential security threats that might come from guest devices.

  • Ease of Use: Guests can easily connect to the guest network by selecting it from their device's Wi-Fi list and entering the provided password.

  • Configuration: You can set up and manage the guest network through the Reyee Cloud APP, customizing settings like SSID, password, speed limits, and VLAN information.

This setup is particularly useful for businesses or households that frequently have visitors requiring internet access but want to maintain network security.

 

VLAN

Reyee VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is used to segment and manage network traffic efficiently and securely.

  • Network Segmentation: VLANs divide a physical network into multiple logical networks, allowing devices in different VLANs to communicate as if they were on separate physical networks.

  • Improved Security: By isolating traffic within VLANs, sensitive data and resources can be protected from unauthorized access.

  • Enhanced Performance: VLANs reduce broadcast traffic by limiting broadcasts to within the same VLAN, improving overall network performance.

  • Ease of Management: VLANs simplify network management by allowing administrators to control traffic and policies at a granular level.

  • Flexibility: VLANs can be easily configured and reconfigured through the Reyee Cloud APP, making it simple to adapt to changing network requirements.
