Chapter 13
VPN Server
The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network
in a secured way through the internet when you are out of the house. The router offers
three ways to setup VPN connection: OpenVPN, PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol)
VPN and IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN.
OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and more stability. It is suitable
for restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet.
PPTP VPN is easier to use and its speed is faster. It’s compatible with most operating
systems and also supports mobile devices. However, its security is poor and packets
may be cracked easily. PPTP VPN may be blocked by some ISPs.
IPSec (IP Security) is a set of services and protocols defined by IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force) to provide high security for IP packets and prevent attacks.
This chapter contains the following sections, please choose the appropriate VPN server
connection type according to your needs.
• Use OpenVPN to Access Your Home Network
• Use PPTP VPN to Access Your Home Network
• Use IPSec VPN to Access Your Home Network
