VPN Passthrough
VPN Passthrough allows VPN clients to pass through this router and connect to a VPN endpoint and is enabled by default.
To open this page, select VPN > VPN Passthrough in the navigation tree.
To enable VPN Passthrough, check Enable for the allowed protocols:
•IPSec Passthrough—Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer.
•PPTP Passthrough—Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network.
•L2TP Passthrough—Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable Point-to-Point sessions by using the Internet at Layer 2.
PPTP Server
Up to 10 PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN tunnels can be enabled for users who are running PPTP client software. For example, in Windows XP or 2000, a user opens the Network Connections panel and creates a new connection. In the wizard, the user selects the option to create a connection to the workplace by using a Virtual Private Network connection. The user must know the WAN IP address of this device. For more information, refer to the documentation or help files for your operating system.
To open this page, select VPN > PPTP Server in the navigation tree.
To enable the PPTP server and allow PPTP VPN tunnels, check the Enable box and enter the range:
Range Start and Range End—Range of LAN address to assign to the PPTP VPN clients. The LAN IP address range for PPTP VPN clients should be outside of the normal DHCP range of the router.
The Connection Table shows the tunnels in use. PPTP user accounts are added in the User Management window (select Unassigned in the Group column).
