Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router

a secure connection that, in effect, operates as if you were directly connected to your local network. Virtual Private Networking can be used to create secure networks linking a central office with branch offices, telecommuters, and/or professionals on the road (travelers can connect to a VPN Router using any computer with VPN client software that supports IPSec, such as SSH Sentinel.)

There are two basic ways to create a VPN connection:

•VPN Router to VPN Router

•Computer (using VPN client software that supports IPSec) to VPN Router

The VPN Router creates a “tunnel” or channel between two endpoints, so that data transmissions between them are secure. A computer with VPN client software that supports IPSec can be one of the two endpoints. Any computer with the built-in IPSec Security Manager (Microsoft 2000 and XP ) allows the VPN Router to create a VPN tunnel using IPSec (refer to “Appendix C: Configuring IPSec between a Windows 2000 or XP PC and the VPN Router”). Other versions of Microsoft operating systems require additional, third-party VPN client software applications that support IPSec to be installed.

VPN Router to VPN Router

An example of a VPN Router-to-VPN Router VPN would be as follows. (See Figure 2-2.) At home, a telecommuter uses his VPN Router for his always-on Internet connection. His router is configured with his office's VPN settings. When he connects to his office's router, the two routers create a VPN tunnel, encrypting and decrypting data. As VPNs utilize the Internet, distance is not a factor. Using the VPN, the telecommuter now has a secure connection to the central office's network, as if he were physically connected.

Chapter 2: Planning your Wireless Network

Figure 2-2:

IMPORTANT: You must have at least one VPN Router on one end of the VPN tunnel. At the other end of the VPN tunnel, you must have a second VPN Router or a computer with VPN client software that supports IPSec.
