4.1 USB Mode
The VPN Client 2.5 brings the capability to secure tunnel security elements by the use of a USB Stick.
Once the "USB mode" is set “On”, you just need to insert the USB stick to automatically open tunnels. And you
just need to unplug the USB stick to automatically close all established tunnels. In that mode, no tunnel can be
opened.
When you select “USB mode”, the tunnel security elements contained into the configuration are stored onto the
USB stick the first time you plug it in.
