Zyxel Vpn100
Question about Zyxel Vpn100
I am a little very surprised. When I bought it, I assumed that the SSL client licences for Win10 and macOS were included. It is also clearly stated in the content filter that the term of 1 year is included. Now to the problem and the question: With my macOS clients, after a good three weeks of use, the message comes up that the trail version will expire in 8 days. Is it correct that neither IPsec nor SSL VPN client licences are included? If so - Digitec, please point this out in the description - that will save unexpected trouble. When searching for my apparently required two licences at Digitec, I come across the following product: Zyxel iCard SSL VPN add 5 Tunnels for CHF 64.-. In the description there are two points that are confusing for me: "Product series: ZyXEL USG series" --> does this also apply to Zyxel VPN100? "Licence duration: x years" --> can I freely choose the x? Many thanks to the community for the tips on dealing with the Zyxel client licences - and hoping Digitec is reading along in clarifying the other hints.

Hello!
No licence is required on the Zyxel firewall for use with IPsec and L2TP over IPsec. Windows as well as macOS, iOS and Android have a native IPsec client integrated that can be used. You can find help on how to set it up here:

With VPN100, 30 simultaneous SSL VPNs are possible without an additional licence on the firewall. The required SSL VPN client is free of charge for Windows. For the SSL VPN client software (SecuExtender) on macOS, a paid licence is required.

I have been using the USG20 for a long time and have also bought the licences for client connections, as far as I know these are not limited, which is probably why the x years. The same licences are also used for the client with the VPN100, generally applies to these products, as it is the same client (software). Site-to-site connections only require one configuration on both devices, in my case I have connected the USG20 to the VPN100.
I don't know if Digitec is reading this, but use the "Report incorrect data" function in the specifications.
