VPN between client and an internal network
In the following example users can connect to
the main office internal network from anywhere on
the Internet. Communication between the client and
the internal network takes place in an encrypted
VPN tunnel that connects the DFL and the roa ming
users across the Internet.
The example shows a VPN between a roaming
VPN client and the internal network, but you can
also create a VPN tunnel that uses the DMZ network.
The networks at the ends of the VPN tunnel are
selected when you configure the VPN policy.
