  • Page 117: Appendix C About Vpns

    Appendix C About VPNs Overview A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides a secure connection between 2 points, over an insecure network - typically the Internet. This secure connection is called a VPN Tunnel. There are many standards and protocols for VPNs. The standard implemented in the Wireless ADSL Router is IPSec.

  • Page 118: Vpn Configuration

    Appendix C - VPNs Because the IKE and IPsec connections are separate, they have different SAs (security associations). Policies VPN configuration settings are stored in Policies. Note that different vendors use different terms. Generally, the terms "VPN Policy", "IPSec Policy", and "IPSec Proposal" have the same meaning. However, some vendors separate IKE Policies (Phase 1 parameters) from IPSec Policies (Phase 2 parameters).
