VPN Server
The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server provides a secure way to access your home
network over the Internet when you are away from home. The router offers two ways
to setup VPN connection: OpenVPN and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN.
OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and stability. It is suitable for
networks which are more limited geographically, such as campus networks or company
intranet.
PPTP VPN is easy-to-use.It is faster than OpenVPN, compatible with most operating
systems and supported on mobile devices. However, its security is poor and data
packets are more vulnerable. In addition, a PPTP VPN connection may be blocked by
some ISPs.
It contains the following sections. Please choose an appropriate VPN server connection
type according to your needs.
