There are only 4 LAN ports on the Gateway. How are additional computers connected?

Does the Gateway support virtual private networks (VPNs)?
The Gateway supports VPN passthrough, which allows VPN clients on the LAN to communicate with VPN hosts on the Internet. It is also possible to set up VPN hosts on your LAN that clients elsewhere on the Internet can connect to, but this is not a recommended configuration.
