User Guide 1
CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing the ideal solution for providing
secure access to the Internet–the WatchGuard®Firebox®SOHO 6
or SOHO 6tc security appliance.

Chapter 1: Introduction
2 WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6.1
This User Guide is for both the SOHO 6 and the SOHO 6tc–the
name SOHO 6 refers to both these appliances throughout this
guide. The only difference between them is the ability to create and
use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The VPN option is added to
the SOHO 6, while the SOHO 6 tc comes with the VPN option pre-
installed.
Your new SOHO 6 provides peace of mind when connecting to the
Internet using a high-speed cable or DSL modem, a leased line, or
ISDN.
The most current installation and user information is available at
the WatchGuard Web site:
