6. Specify how client VPN connections can be used on the router by selecting one of
the following radio buttons:
• Auto. The router automatically uses the VPN service only for necessary access,
that is, the router allows access to sites and services that would not be accessible
without a VPN connection. However, if some sites or services are not accessible
to the VPN client, or if a user cannot access some sites on the Internet, select
another radio button.
• All sites on the Internet & BR500 Network. The VPN client can access the
Internet and all sites and services on the router network, that is, behind the router
firewall. Accessing the Internet remotely through a VPN connection might be
slower than accessing the Internet directly.
• BR500 Network only. The VPN client can access all sites and services on the
router network, that is, behind the router firewall, but cannot access the Internet.
