Clients and Secure Email
This is the ultimate setup for an organization that doesn't offer Internet services to the
outside world. In this package, we provide:
- Unlimited client access to the Internet
- Use of RFC 1597 IP Addresses
- Dedicated or Dial Connection
- No external access to your internal mail server
- Secure Email delivery to other participating domains
Unlimited Client Access
To The Internet
Our NAT devices give your client applications full access to the riches of the Internet.
Unlike the usual methods, all of your clients appear to have the exact same IP
Address, making your network a mystery to the Internet Bad Guy (IGB). Another
benefit is the elimination of the need to publish names by way of the Domain Name
Service (DNS) to make picky "anonymous" FTP sites happy. You publish a single
IP Address and name, and everyone can use FTP.
Use of RFC 1597
IP Addresses
There is no need for you to register IP Addresses. In fact, if you're not an Internet
Service Provider, you shouldn't use registered addresses.
Your ISP will loan some addresses to you for the outside to see, but you'll use IP Addresses
from RFC 1597 inside your Enterprise.
The NAT device will translate your actual internal IP Addresses to the apparent ones that
your ISP loaned you. The outside world will have no idea of your internal network or its
structure.
Dedicated or Dial Connection
Whether you're a busy site with a full time appetite for the Internet, or a smaller site that
prefers a Dial on Demand PPP connection, Network Safety can handle them both. For
the dedicated link, we offer the NetNAT, our premier
Firewall NAT/router product. For the smaller, dialup site, the DialNAT
is the device of choice. Our Ultimate Mail Service provides you
the email visibility that you need, whether your connection is up or not.
No External Access
To Your Mail Server
Your internal mail server does not accept connections from the outside. It doesn't need to,
because our Ultimate Mail Service accepts them for it. When your mail server wants to fetch
your email, it opens a tightly-authenticated connection to our Ultimate Mail Server and retrieves
your email through an encrypted channel. Nobody will be probing your mail server for security
problems, and the NATs will make sure of it.
Secure Email Exchange
With Other Domains
Other domains that contract for Ultimate Mail Service may exchange email with your domain
without any mail travelling the net in the clear. All communication between the UMS and the
internal mail servers is encrypted for complete privacy. As the standards evolve, Network
Safety will deliver encrypted email to your client application. When we can do
this, your email NEVER crosses the net in the clear.
