Client-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels

Client-to-gateway VPN tunnels provide secure access from a remote PC, such as a telecommuter
connecting to an office network.
Figure 6-1
A VPN client access allows a remote PC to connect to your network from any location on the
Internet. In this case, the remote PC is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client software. The
modem router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See "Setting Up a Client-to-Gateway
VPN Configuration" on page 6-5 to set up this configuration.

Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels

Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels provide secure access between networks, such as a branch or
home office and a main office.
Figure 6-2
A VPN between two or more NETGEAR VPN-enabled routers is a good way to connect branch or
home offices and business partners over the Internet. VPN tunnels also enable access to network
resources across the Internet. In this case, use DG834G v5s on each end of the tunnel to form the
VPN tunnel end points. See "Setting Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration" on page 6-18
for information about how to set up this configuration.
