Description

wolkvox ensures a private and secure connection between its customers' networks and its infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by using Google Cloud VPN. This solution allows for establishing a site-to-site IPsec VPN, which encrypts traffic between the customer's on-premises network and wolkvox's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in GCP.

Traffic is protected by VPN gateways, which encrypt the data upon leaving the local network and decrypt it upon reaching GCP, ensuring that information travels securely and confidentially over the internet. Additionally, Google Cloud VPN offers a 99.9% availability SLA, guaranteeing a stable and reliable connection.

Features

Site-to-Site IPsec VPN Connection

• End-to-End Encryption: Traffic between the customer's network and the wolkvox VPC is encrypted using IPsec, a secure protocol for network communications.
• Support for IKEv1 and IKEv2: Cloud VPN is compatible with both key exchange protocols, using an IKE pre-shared key to authenticate the connection.
• Flexible Routing: Supports static and dynamic routes (via Cloud Router), allowing for efficient management of traffic between customer instances and the wolkvox infrastructure.

Security and Availability

• Data Protection in Transit: IPsec encryption ensures that data cannot be intercepted or manipulated while traveling over the internet.
• High Availability: Google Cloud VPN offers a 99.9% SLA, ensuring that the connection is available when the customer needs it.
• GCP Integration: The VPN integrates directly with the wolkvox Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), allowing secure access to resources hosted in GCP without exposing them to the public internet.
