The Barracuda Network Access Client interacts with the Access Control service of the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall. The Access Control service defines security policies for network users (e.g., VPN clients) and enables the CloudGen Firewall to perform identity and health checks on clients. The Barracuda VPN Client acts as the server-side component between the VPN client and the CloudGen Firewall / Firewall Control Center. However, most functionalities of the VPN client are also usable in conjunction with consumer-level Barracuda NextGen Firewall X-Series units. The Barracuda Network Access/VPN Client supports the following authentication methods: Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS, ADFS/SAML (Windows and macOS only), MSNT, RSA ACE, X.509 certificates, RSA tokens, Smart Cards.

For proper operation, all components of the Barracuda Network Access Client framework, the Access Control service on the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, and the client software require up-to-date virus and spam protection.
