Digi Mobile VPN is a key addition to the Digi SAFE solution, available as a value-added service to Digi routers through Digi Remote Manager. Digi Mobile VPN enables users to create a secure connection between their data centers and the Digi router, including connected (wired or wireless) smart devices.
This service offers persistent, secure connectivity, utilizing Digi Remote Manager (Digi RM) as the central portal for orchestrating the mobile VPN setup and deployment. Digi Mobile VPN, powered by Radio IP, provides a highly secure mobile VPN software solution developed to address the exacting needs of mission critical communications including FirstNet® support for emergency responders.
Digi Mobile VPN 使通信能够在一个移动 VPN 连接中同时无缝穿越多个独立网络,确保各种移动工作人员(无论其身处何地)的安全不间断连接,同时超越数据保护规定。
Digi 设备提供一系列连接选项,包括具有Digi SureLink®、基于策略的路由选择和接口绑定等功能的蜂窝故障切换。这些功能可有效防止任何外部网络故障导致停机。
作为 Digi RM 的一项重要附加服务,Digi Mobile VPN 可从中央门户轻松集成,以增强整个网络的稳健连接。使用Digi RM管理设备和网络连接,可通过单一指挥点利用我们久经考验的远程管理平台。Digi RM的监控和管理功能使您可以从任何地点轻松查看和控制设备。
Digi Mobile VPN with Digi Remote Manager
Developed with a technology partner, Radio IP, Digi Mobile VPN provides versatility, performance and reliability to bolster public safety efforts, improve response times, and enhance overall situational awareness for first responders and agencies.
Enhanced privacy and security with session persistence
Privacy should ensure that no third parties — including the VPN provider — can identify individual VPN users or see their online activity by monitoring the VPN connection. This is partially accomplished by employing strong security measures. Digi routers are designed with encryption built in, and integrated Digi Mobile VPN security offers an easy-to-use solution. These technologies are used to ensure that data is kept confidential, is not modified in transit, and only travels between trusted parties.
- Secure VPN protocol such as OpenVPN, L2TP, SSTP, or IKEv2
- Channel encryption must minimally use the AES 128-bit algorithm and be tested with AES 256-bit algorithm
- Authentication protocol must be SHA256 or better
- Key exchange (RSA and DH keys) must be 2,048-bit or higher
- Perfect forward secrecy: session keys cannot be compromised even if the private key of the server is compromised
- DNS leak protection, WebRTC lead prevention and IPv6 leak prevention must be built into the VPN connection
- VPN traffic shall persist when the VPN connection drops, with persistence algorithms between the Digi router and VPN server
- The provider must operate its own DNS servers and not route DNS requests through the default ISP or a public provider such as OpenDNS or Google DNS
- Physical servers are preferred as they leave no room for ambiguity around which country’s data privacy laws apply
Reliability with increased speed and reduced latency
A VPN’s primary purpose is to ensure privacy and security online, but no one wants to compromise speed. High speed is always a top priority of first responder communications. Digi transportation cellular routers feature hardware acceleration, meet the U.S. government cybersecurity FIPS 140-2 standard, and employ speed and latency tests for maximum performance and reliability across private and secure Internet connections.
Built-in capabilities with DAL OS and value-added services
With Digi Accelerated Linux (DAL OS) embedded in Digi devices, an extensive set of software features and capabilities are built into firmware that is signed, vetted and distributed as part of our Digi TrustFence®-approved standards. Digi Mobile VPN reduces cost with a single license on the router for all connected devices to the router, without needing to run a client on each connected device.
When a client enables Mobile VPN in Digi RM and configures their Digi devices remotely or locally in DAL OS, the default route for any traffic is through the Mobile VPN connection. There is no extra client necessary and the standard DAL IPsec implementation is sufficient to get started. This can be managed by the customer, by Digi Professional Services or by a Digi partner.
Digi Mobile VPN can also be combined with Digi WAN Bonding for 5G/LTE WAN aggregation and immediate failover. This further optimizes speed and throughput with reduced latency, with WAN smoothing, hot failover and packet duplication.
