ThruLink devices provide transparent and secure communication over public and private networks. The units are designed to perform behind firewalls, NAT devices and most other network configurations while providing seamless encrypted communication for all TCP/IP protocols regardless of the type of traffic. When properly deployed, ThruLink devices are transparent to the network and will not affect TTL, VLAN information or broadcast/multicast traffic. This reduces network complexity and routing problems, and saves time and resources.
