Section 5 - Quick VPN
The following instructions explain and help you configure your D-Link Quick VPN enabled router and devices to create a Vir-
tual Private Network (VPN). This feature is intended for advanced users who wish to connect remotely and use their router's
Internet connection with an extra layer of security while using untrusted networks. Configure a Quick VPN Server on your
router first and then set up client devices to connect through your router's WAN connection.
•
Quick VPN only provides an added layer of security against specific types of snooping attacks and does not guarantee complete data integrity
or protection. Only traffic in the tunnel between your router and device will be encrypted, WAN traffic will leave your D-Link Quick VPN enabled
router unencrypted.
•
Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. It is recommended that you change these credentials periodically.
•
A device connected via Quick VPN tunnel may experience lower data throughput and higher latency due to a number of factors including but
not limited to Internet conditions, local and remote network Wi-Fi and WAN bandwidth limitations, and increased latency. This may negatively
affect real-time voice and video communication.
•
Quick VPN supports up to five concurrent VPN client sessions using the same login and password. Quick VPN uses L2TP/IPsec with MSCHAPv2,
PAP, or CHAP authentication.
•
You device may warn you of your information being intercepted, and you may ignore this warning since you are in control of the Quick VPN server.
•
UDP Ports 500, 4500, 1701 and IP Port 50 must be open in order for Quick VPN to work.
•
L2TP/IPsec VPN usage may be restricted in some countries and on some networks. If you have trouble using Quick VPN on some networks and
are sure you are not violating any network access rules, try to contact your ISP or network administrator.
•
Devices connected via Quick VPN are assigned with addresses on a separate subnet (ex. 192.168.1.x). Some network resources may be unavailable
when connecting via Quick VPN.
•
If your Internet connection uses DHCP, it is strongly recommended that you first set up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), such as D-Link DDNS, to eliminate
the need to reconfigure client devices in the event that your ISP assigns you a new WAN IP address.
