Using the VPN Option
Setting up a VPN Tunnel
A VPN (virtual private network) tunnel is a connec-
tion to a remote site over the public Internet. VPN
tunnels are a cost effective solution for sending and
receiving secure business data between two sites.
If you ordered an Intel
purchased one of the VPN Options for Intel
Express Routers separately, you can create a VPN
over the Internet.
A VPN provides the security of a private network
without the costs associated with a wide area
network (WAN). The costs for a VPN consist of only
the subscription to an Internet service provider (ISP)
and local calls to your ISP.
Note: You must have a working connection to the
Internet (through the DSL or cable modem connected
to the LAN 2 port) before you can add a VPN tunnel.
