Overview of VPN Configuration

Two common scenarios for configuring VPN tunnels are between a remote personal computer and
a network gateway and between two or more network gateways. The DG834G v3 supports both of
these types of VPN configurations. The ADSL Modem Wireless Router supports up to five
concurrent tunnels.

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.

Internet. In this case, the remote PC is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client software. The
ADSL Modem Wireless Router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See
