Barracuda CloudGen WAN offers point-to-site capabilities. Point-to-site connections are used to connect an individual device, such as a laptop, to the company network. The VPN client running on the client connects to the VPN service of Barracuda CloudGen WAN. Site authentication allows devices physically located within the network to authenticate against the Barracuda CloudGen WAN service to enforce Security Policies.
