A traditional VPN encrypts traffic and stops there: once the tunnel is up, every destination is reachable, including known malicious ones. Aegister VPN adds a second step. Traffic leaves through Aegister's servers, and those servers check each destination against IP reputation data and threat intelligence before letting the connection through.
Where the filtering happens
The filtering is server side. IP reputation analysis and threat intelligence, supplied by our partner OneFirewall, are applied on the servers that terminate the tunnel, not inside the app. Nothing needs to be installed or updated on the device for the filters to stay current, and the same rules apply to every device connected to the tunnel.
How the connection works
- The user signs in to the app with their Aegister account.
- The app downloads the VPN profile assigned to the organization, with no manual configuration and no files to install.
- The device opens an OpenVPN tunnel to Aegister's servers, encrypted with AES-256-CBC over UDP, on any network.
- Connections to addresses with a bad reputation are blocked on the server.
Who it is for
Aegister VPN serves organizations with an active VPN licence with Aegister, typically for people working from home, on the move or on public Wi-Fi. It is not a consumer VPN service. It is part of Aegister's perimeter protection, alongside Threat Blocker and Cloud Defender, and is managed through Aegister Cyber Console.
Native apps are available for Android and iOS. The Aegister VPN page explains how to activate the service.
