Overview of VPN Configuration
Two common scenarios for VPN tunnels are between a remote PC and a network gateway,
and between two or more network gateways. The N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+
Modem Router DGND3300v2 supports both types. The N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+
Modem Router DGND3300v2 supports up to five concurrent tunnels.
