Hi Chris, Im not a Lawyer,
But basically you cant export cryptographic technology from the US, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_the_United_States If you want to ship a firewall to an overseas office (for a VPN) Im not certain it would constitute exporting. as you are not selling it, (Get legal advice on this) also host countries (particularly ones with large powerful intelligence organizations generally have restrictions on what Cryptographic kit can come into that country... Im not aware of any restrictions on Cryptography coming into the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_the_import_of_cryptography ...
