Section 6 - Quick VPN
The following instructions explain and help you to con gure your D-Link Quick VPN enabled router and devices to create a Virtual Private Network
(VPN). This feature is provided for advanced users who wish to connect remotely and use their router's Internet connection to add a layer of security
while using untrusted networks. Con gure the Quick VPN Server on your router rst and then set up client devices to connect through your router's
WAN connection.
• Quick VPN only provides an added layer of security against speci c types of snooping attacks and does not guarantee complete data
integrity or protection. Only tra c in the tunnel between your router and device will be encrypted, WAN tra c will leave your D-Link
Quick VPN enabled router unencrypted.
• Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. It is
recommended that you change these credentials periodically.
• A device connected via Quick VPN tunnel may experience lower data throughput and higher latency due to a number of factors
including: Internet conditions, local and remote network Wi-Fi and WAN bandwidth limitations, and increased latency. This may
negatively impact real time voice and video communication.
• Quick VPN supports up to ve concurrent VPN client sessions using the same login and password are supported. Quick VPN uses
L2TP/IPsec with MSCHAPv2, PAP, or CHAP authentication.
• You device may warn you that your information may be intercepted, since you control the Quick VPN server, you may ignore this.
• UDP Ports 500, 4500, 1701 and IP Port 50 must be open in order for Quick VPN to work.
• L2TP/IPsec VPN usage may be restricted in some countries and on some networks. If you have trouble using Quick VPN on some
networks, but not others and are not violating network access rules, try contacting your ISP or network administrator.
• Devices connected via Quick VPN are assigned addresses on a separate subnet (ex. 192.168.1.x). Some network resources may be
unavailable when connecting via Quick VPN.
• If your Internet connection uses DHCP, it is strongly recommended that you rst set up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), such as D-Link DDNS,
to eliminate the need to recon gure client devices in the event your ISP assigns you a new WAN IP address.
