VPN Tunnel Types
A VPN provides a secure communication channel (tunnel) between two gateway
routers or a remote worker and a gateway router. You can create different types of
VPN tunnels, depending on the needs of your business.
Remote Access with Cisco QuickVPN
For quick setup with basic VPN security settings, distribute the Cisco QuickVPN
software to your users, who can then securely access your network resources.
Use this option if you want to simplify the VPN setup process. You do not have to
configure VPN policies. Remote users can connect securely with the Cisco
QuickVPN client and an Internet connection.
