The tunnels are active after entry of choice Create x GRE tunnel. In the singles
window it is possible to define the IP address of the remote side of the tunnel (Remote
External IP Address), internal IP address of the local side of the tunnel (Local Internal IP
Address), internal IP address of the remote side of the tunnel (Remote Internal IP Address),
address of the network behind the remote side of the tunnel (Remote Subnet) and the mask
of the network behind the remote side of the tunnel (Remote Subnet Mask). The GRE tunnel
is used for connection of two networks to one that appears as one homogenous. Last item
