Benefits of using NetExtender

NetExtender provides remote users with full access to the protected internal network. The experience is virtually identical to that of using a traditional IPSec VPN clients, but NetExtender does not require any manual client installation. Instead, the stand-alone NetExtender client is automatically installed on the PC of a remote user by an HTML5 control when using the Edge or Firefox. On Linux systems, supported browsers use Java controls to automatically install NetExtender from the Virtual Office portal.

The NetExtender Windows client also has a custom-dialer that allows it to be launched from the Windows Network Connections menu. This custom-dialer allows NetExtender to be connected before the Windows domain login. The NetExtender Windows client also supports a single active connection, and displays real-time throughput and data compression ratios in the client.

After installation, NetExtender automatically launches and connects a virtual adapter for SSL-secure NetExtender point-to-point access to permitted hosts and subnets on the internal network.
