Managing ClarkConnect Servers

can take advantage of a number of free services like dynamic DNS and managed VPN (IPSec tunnels between servers on one
or more dynamic IP addresses). Of course, software updates (including an auto-update feature) is also included with
your license, ensuring your server and network is up-to-date and secure.
In addition, businesses can take advantage
of the integrated premium Gateway Services that increase security, update blacklists and intrusion detection
fingerprints, allow remote monitoring and health check alerts and much more. There are four different levels
of premium Gateway Services - Personal, SOHO, SMB and Excel - to meet your company's needs.
