VPN - VPN Client Accounts Tab
You can allow remote users to easily establish a VPN connection to your Router using the
Linksys QuickVPN client utility without using a compatible VPN Router with IPsec VPN
settings. This is achieved by creating user accounts on the Router and authenticate users
through Username and Password. After creating user accounts, it will be summarized in the
table below.
For users using QuickVPN, it will first establish an SSL connection with remote Wireless
Router to get authenticated. Then QuickVPN will automatically negotiate IPsec settings with
the remote Router. All the data packets will be encrypted using IPsec thereafter.
The Wireless Router supports up to five Linksys QuickVPN clients by default. Additional
QuickVPN Client licenses can be purchased separately.
