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 DG834 supports both of
these types of VPN configurations. The DG834 ADSL router supports up to five concurrent
tunnels.

DG834 ADSL router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See
Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration" on page 7-6
