VPN Server

The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network in
a secured way through internet when you are out of home. The router offers two ways
to set up VPN connection: OpenVPN and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN.
OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and more stable. It is suitable
for restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet.
PPTP VPN is more easily used and its speed is faster, it's compatible with most operating
systems and also supports mobile devices. Its security is poor and your packets may
be cracked easily, and PPTP VPN connection may be prevented by some ISP.
