INTRODUCTION

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to create an encrypted connection tunnel, enabling users to

exchange data across shared or public networks while acting as clients connected to a private network.

The benefit of using a VPN is to ensure the appropriate level of security to connected systems when the

underlying network infrastructure alone cannot provide it. The most common types of VPNs are remote-

access VPNs and site-to-site VPNs.

The VPN security model provides:

✓ Client authentication to forbid any unauthorized user from accessing the VPN network.

✓ Encryption, that will prevent man in middle attacks and eavesdropping on the network traffic.

✓ Data integrity to maintain the consistency, and trustworthiness of the messages exchanged.

The purpose of this guide is to underline VPN client/server feature on Grandstream GWN7000 Router and
