Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Router DG834 v3

A VPN between two or more NETGEAR VPN-enabled routers is a good way to connect branch or home offices and business partners over the Internet. VPN tunnels also enable access to network resources across the Internet. In this case, use DG834 v3s on each end of the tunnel to form the VPN tunnel end points. See “How to Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 6-20to set up this configuration.
