Use VPN to Access Your Internet Service at Home
When you are away from home and you access the Internet, you usually use a local Internet service
provider. For example, at a coffee shop you might be given a code that lets you use the coffee shop’s
Internet service account to surf the web.
The router lets you use a VPN connection to access your own Internet service when you are away from
home.You might want to do this if you travel to a geographic location that does not support all the Internet
services that you use at home. For example, your Netflix account might work at home but not in a different
country.
