VPN Pass Through	The router supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for both PPTP
	(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Security). Once VPN
	pass-through is enabled, there is no need to open up virtual services. Multiple
	VPN connections can be made through the router. This is useful when you have

Dynamic DNS	The Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a domain name
	linked to a changing IP address. This is a useful feature since many computers do
