To enable/disable the VPN Site to Site blade: This is due to the fact that the remote site's encryption domain is considered part of the organization even though traffic to it is technically outgoing to the Internet (since it is now VPN traffic). Once defined, access to the remote site is determined by the incoming/internal/VPN traffic Rule Base as seen in the Access Policy > Firewall Policy page. The remote site can be accessible through another Check Point appliance (recommended) or a 3rd party VPN solution. You can view how many sites are already defined and configure basic access policy from the remote sites into the specific network accessible by this gateway. On this page you can activate the blade to allow site to site connectivity. This allows for seamless secure interaction between the two networks within the same organization even though they are physically distant from each other. Site to Site VPN can connect two networks separated by the Internet through a secure encrypted VPN tunnel. In the VPN > Site to Site Blade Control page you can activate the appliance's ability to create VPN tunnels with remote sites.
