Find the right IPsec VPN solution in this cookbook full of use cases, sample configurations, and security best practices.


In a world of evolving security threats and increasingly strict compliance, all organizations must ensure that data over a wide area network or the public Internet is secure and encrypted. But because there are so many options available for IPsec VPNs, it has always been difficult for architects and administrators to understand what functions to choose.


Day One: IPsec VPN Cookbook 2018 has a simple approach – pick one of the use case examples from each chapter, from basic to complex, and start implementing an IPsec VPN solution. That’s why this cookbook has been one of the most popular internal Juniper documents for years, used by field sales and system engineers, and why it is now intended to have annual updates.
