WatchGuard says MSS 6.0 is a complete firewall and VPN solution that can be used to support the company’s Firebox II and Firebox III product lines.

Our managed security customers will now have enhanced VPN functionality, enhanced proxy capabilities, including a new DNS proxy protection, and new and enhanced security and logging protections, including one-to-one NAT and intrusion detection integration."
