How to connect to your corporate office using a VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) uses a public network such as the Internet to provide secure communications between a remote computer and another network. Corporations often
provide VPN access to their networks to enable employees to work from remote offices or while traveling. Most corporate VPNs use the Internet.
For a typical VPN, the corporation installs a VPN gateway on their corporate network. Employees authorized to work remotely connect to the VPN gateway through the Internet using
VPN software and security methods provided by their employers. Security and authentication requirements ensure a secure connection and access by only authorized users.
The default VPN settings in your router have been configured to pass through (allow) the most common types of VPN protocols. Usually, no changes are needed.
