How to allow/deny VPN connections through your router

Management > Remote Management

VPN (Virtual Private) Network) is a network that uses a public network, such as the Internet, to provide secure communications between a remote computer or network and another network. Some offices often provide VPN access to their networks to enable employees to work their remote office/home office, or while traveling.

If your office or place of work has allowed and authorized access for you to access their network through VPN, the default VPN settings in your router have been configured to pass through the most common types of VPN protocols, which typically does not require any additional configuration changes.

1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your router management page” on page 11).

2.Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.

3.Next to PPTP, L2TP, or IPsec (depending the VPN protocol your corporation requires) click Enabled or Disabled to turn the VPN pass through feature on or off on your router.

Note: It is recommended to leave these settings enabled.

4. To save changes, click Apply.
