How to change your VPN settings

VPN (Virtual Private Networking) provides for secure communication between two separate networks without using a dedicated leased line. In order to achieve this functionality, a secure tunnel must be built between the two sites for secure communication over the Internet. The BOSS™ supports the two most popular protocols, IPSec and PPTP.

IPSec provides encryption and authentication services at the IP layer. Working at this level, IPSec can protect any traffic carried over IP unlike other encryption methods that only protect a particular higher-level protocol.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), is a PPP- specific protocol proposed by Microsoft. The BOSS™ implements a PPTP server. The remote user can con- nect to the PPTP server and access a local host behind the PPTP server.

When you select the VPN item in left menu of the web page, IPsec and PPTP configuration options will appear. Please refer to the corresponding sections for these configurations.
