6: VPN Configuration
Overview
Virtual Private Network (VPN) uses encryption to create the connection between two end points
(computers or networks). It allows private data to be sent securely over a public network or the
Internet without the risk of outside intruders gaining unauthorized access. VPN establishes a private
network that can send data securely between two networks. We call this by creating
a “tunnel”. A VPN
tunnel connects the two PCs or networks
Note:
The VPN Router uses industry standard IPSec encryption. However, due to the variations in
how manufactures interpret these standards, many VPN products are not interoperable.
Although the Multi-WAN VPN Router can interoperate with many other VPN products, it is not
possible for the Multi-WAN VPN Router to provide specific technical support for every other
product.
