Allow/deny VPN connections through your router

Advanced > Firewall > Others
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that uses a public network, such as the
Internet, to provide secure communications between a remote computer or network
and another network. Some offices often provide VPN access to their networks to
enable employees to work from their remote office/home office, or while traveling.
If your office or place of work has allowed and authorized access for you to access their
network through VPN, the default VPN settings in your router have been configured to
pass through the most common types of VPN protocols, which typically do not require
any additional configuration changes.
1. Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page"
on page 35).
2. Click on Advanced, click on Firewall, and click on Others.
3. Next to Disable PPTP, Disable L2TP, or Disable IPsec check Enable to turn off the VPN
passthrough feature for the specific VPN protocol.
Note: It is recommended to leave these settings unchecked to ensure VPN passthrough
capability is enabled on your router.
4. Click Apply at the bottom of the page to save the changes.
Note: If you would like to discard the changes, click Undo before you click Apply.
