Turbo Tunnel

HySecure Turbo Tunnel is a new mechanism that functions at the L3 level to route IP traffic from an end-user machine to the corporate network. It uses a UDP-based tunnel to assign a virtual IP address to the end-user PC, enabling the exchange of TCP, UDP, or ICMP traffic between the end-user PC and the corporate network.

Turbo Tunnel enhances support for real-time applications, such as VoIP apps, and provides better performance for heavy graphics apps over VDI. Turbo Tunnel also supports applications that require a reverse connection (i.e., a connection originated by a server-side application towards end-users). It can be enabled for specific applications and users.

For more information on how the turbo tunnel works, refer to the HySecure Turbo Tunnel Guide.
