Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a dedicated network set up based on a public network (usually the internet). it is
called a virtual private network since it consists of only logical connections. The VPN technology allows employees
at a branch of an enterprise and employees at the headquarter to exchange resources without exposing these
resources to other internet users.
Supported by the tunnel technology, VPN creates a virtual dedicated line between two endpoints and uses
point-to-point authentication and encryption to guarantee the security of data transmission. This router is
compliant with layer 2 tunnel PPTP and L2TP, and layer 3 IPSec.
9.1 PPTP/L2TP Client
The router can connect to the VPN server after the PPTP/L2TP Client is enabled. For example, for simple and
secure mutual access between the branch offices and the headquarter, set the router at the headquarter as the
VPN server and the routers at the branch offices to VPN client.
