Chapter 4. VPN Configuration

If you require more than an ordinary, unencrypted connection to the Internet, the router supports IPSec to allow secure communications from a network to another network, or from a client to a network.

The Virtual Private Network (VPN) protects your data by encrypting it while it is sent across the Internet. Additionally, it assures that the traffic you are receiving is actually from the computer you are ex- pecting to exchange traffic with. Up to eight (8) tunnels may be con- figured on the router.

There are two modes for setting up a VPN using the router: net- work-to-network and client-to-network. From the Setup Wizard screen, click on the VPN Settings button to configure your VPN. Enter a connection name for the tunnel and click ADD. The tunnel is automatically enabled when you add the name.

4.1 Network-to-Network

In a network-to-network VPN, the VPN joins the network on the LAN side of the router with another network (which may be the LAN side of another router). In between the two is a connection that may not be trusted (the public Internet). The VPN allows traffic to “tunnel” securely through the network cloud.
