SSL VPN SecuExtender Retirement / Licenses for IPSec SecuExtender needed?

USG_User

Since the SSL VPN SecuExtender Client will be retired soon (or is already retired?), we have to seach for an alternative.

The Windows build-in IKEv2 Client works so far with our USG 700 Flex and could be used, but is not so comfortable for us due to different reasons.

Does Zyxel offers limited IPSec SecuExtender licences for free in order to keep its USG customers connected after retirement of SSL VPN Client? Or are we compelled to pay for such licences from now?

Has nobody an idea? or nobody is using the IPSec Client?

Hi @USG_User,

If you have the SSL VPN SecuExtender license, you can still use it once the OS supports this software. However, we do not offer limited IPSec SecuExtender licenses. You need to purchase a license for the new SecuExtender software if you have new clients who need to use SecuExtender.

Hi Melen,

until now we didn't need to purchase a separate SSL VPN SecuExtender Licence because we didn't exceed the number of free licences coming with the USG.

But do we have to pay now, beginning from the first IPSec Secu Extender Licence? This is a deterioration for the customers. One reason for purchasing an USG Flex 700 was also the built-in VPN connectivity without any additional costs. And even for small companies like us with less than 20 employees, it was an advantage, which is now gone.

Hi USG_User

I completely agree, thanks for your post.

Could you please tell me more details about the sentence "…but is not so comfortable for us due to different reasons."

Thanks
