    Hello Ahiro, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    I have listed my answers to the questions below: 

     

    - If I buy a FVS336Gv2 VPN Firewall for example, can I configure and use VPN with the Firewall directly or should I install a VPN server behind the Firewall in order to create connection with another network? Does the Firewall got a server inside of it?

    - Yes, the firewall is a VPN server itself. You will configure the VPN settings on the FVS336Gv2 in order for remote devices to connect. 

     

    - If I don't have to create a VPN server, is it free to use VPN? Should I pay a subscription for this service or not?

    - Box-to-box (firewall to firewall) VPN and SSL are free, no subscription needed. For Client-to-box, the only thing you need to buy is the VPN client, no subscription needed as well. 

     

    - What about the bandwidth? Must I pay for the incoming/outgoing data used with VPN to my Internet provider? Does the other network must pay for the data sent and received too?

    - It uses your internet connection's bandwidth unless you opt for a faster internet service I don't believe that you'll have to pay for such thing.

     

    - Must I use a software in order to send data to the other network? If yes, is there a free software I can use or how much does it costs? Any must have?

    -For client-to-box setup, you need to use our VPN client software. There is a trial version which you can download here
