Setting Up VPN Passthrough

Use the VPN > VPN Passthrough page to enable or disable passthrough for a variety of VPN methods. VPN passthrough is enabled by default to allow VPN clients on the LAN of the router to reach the VPN server on the Internet.

Cisco recommends enabling VPN Passthrough to allow VPN clients to pass through the router to connect to the VPN endpoint without problems. The administrator can disable the VPN Passthrough to block VPN clients from reaching the VPN endpoint on the Internet.
