Insight Instant VPN Router BR500

Remote VPN connectivity

With one router at a site, you can provide secure, encrypted VPN connections to up to
10 remote users. These users can access all resources that are connected to the router,
for example, file servers, ReadyNAS storage systems, security cameras, and so on.
After the router is connected to the Internet, you can use the NETGEAR Insight app or
Insight Cloud portal to discover the router on the network and add the router to the
Insight app and Insight Cloud portal.
Note: For an Insight managed network, the VPN authentication traffic requires a
connection with the NETGEAR cloud, but the actual data is transferred between the
remote client and the router and does not go through the NETGEAR cloud. If you use
an OpenVPN connection, the VPN authentication traffic does not require a connection
with the NETGEAR cloud.
The following figure shows the router providing edge routing and VPN connectivity for
remote users.
