Configuring VPN Passthrough
VPN passthrough allows VPN traffic that originates from VPN clients to pass 
through the router. For example, if you are not using a VPN that is configured on the 
Cisco RV180/RV180W, but are using a laptop to access a VPN at another site, 
configuring VPN passthrough allows that connection.
To open this page: In the navigation tree, choose VPN > IPsec > VPN 
Passthrough.
STEP 1 Choose the type of traffic to allow to pass through the router:
• IPsec—Check Enable to allow IP security tunnels to pass through the router.
• PPTP—Check Enable to allow Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol tunnels to 
pass through the router.
