Connecting 2 LANs via VPN

Figure 78: Connecting 2 VPN Gateways

This allows two (2) LANs to be connected. PCs on each endpoint gain secure access to the remote LAN.

The 2 LANs MUST use different IP address ranges.

The VPN Policies at each end determine when a VPN tunnel will be established, and what systems on the remote LAN can be accessed once the VPN connection is established.

It is possible to have simultaneous VPN connections to many remote sites.
