3.7 VPN
A VPN is a logical private network set up over a public network (usually the internet) without
physical lines. The VPN technology allows employees at a branch of an enterprise and
employees at the headquarters to exchange resources without exposing these resources to
other internet users.
This router can function as a PPTP server or a PPTP/L2TP client. The following section
describes how to configure the router as a PPTP server or a PPTP/L2TP client.
3.7.1 PPTP Server
Functioning as a PPTP server, the router receives virtual connection requests from clients over
the internet and sets up virtual connections for communication through the connections.
To configure the router as a PPTP server, choose VPN > PPTP Server, set PPTP Server to the
state, and set the parameters. By default, the PPTP server function is disabled. The
following figure shows the dialog box that appears after the function is enabled.
