The Security Tab - VPN Passthrough
Use the settings on this tab to allow VPN tunnels using IPSec, L2TP, or PPTP protocols to pass through the
Router's firewall.
VPN Passthrough
IPSec Passthrough. Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange
of packets at the IP layer. IPSec Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable IPSec Passthrough, select
Disabled.
L2TP Passthrough. Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable Point-to-Point sessions via the
Internet on the Layer 2 level. L2TP Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable L2TP Passthrough, select
Disabled.
PPTP Passthrough. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be
tunneled through an IP network. PPTP Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable PPTP Passthrough, select

VPN Tunnel
Establishing a Tunnel
The Router creates a tunnel or channel between two endpoints, so that the data or information between these
endpoints is secure. To establish this tunnel, select the tunnel you wish to create in the Select Tunnel Entry drop-
down menu. It is possible to create up to two simultaneous tunnels. To delete a tunnel, click the Delete button.
To view a summary of that tunnel, click the Summary button. The VPN Settings Summary screen displays the
number, name, local group, remote group, remote gateway, and security method.
Then check the box next to Enable to enable the tunnel. Once the tunnel is enabled, enter the name of the tunnel
in the Tunnel Name field. This is to allow you to identify multiple tunnels and does not have to match the name
used at the other end of the tunnel.
