Compress (Support IP Payload compression Protocol (IP Comp)

The Router supports IP Payload Compression Protocol. IP Payload Compression is a protocol to reduce the size of IP datagrams. If Compress is enabled, the Router will propose compression when initiating a connection. If the responders reject this propose, the Router will not implement the compression. When the Router works as a responder, the Router will always accept compression even without enabling compression.

Keep-Alive: This mechanism helps to keep up the connection of IPSec tunnels. Whenever a connection is dropped and detected, it will be re-established immediately.

AH Hash Algorithm: AH (Authentication Header) protocol describes the packet format and the default standards for packet structure. With the use of AH as the security protocol, protected is extended forward into IP header to verify the integrity of the entire packet by use of portions of the original IP header in the hashing process. There are two algorithms, MD5 and SHA1. MD5 produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data and SHA1 produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.

NetBIOS broadcast: Check the box to enable NetBIOS traffic to pass through the VPN tunnel. By default, RV0041 blocks these broadcasts.

VPN Tab - VPN Pass Through

IPSec Passthrough: IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec Passthrough, click the Enabled button. To disable IPSec Passthrough, click the Disabled button.

PPTP Pass Through: PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) Passthrough allows the Point-to-Point (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network. To allow PPTP Passthrough, click the Enabled button. To disable PPTP Passthrough, click the Disabled button.

L2TP Passthrough: Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Passthrough is the method used to enable Point-to-Point sessions via the Internet on the Layer 2 level. To allow L2TP Passthrough, click the Enabled button. To disable L2TP Passthrough, click the Disabled button.
