Section 6 - Quick VPN Quick VPN This router is equipped with D-Link's Quick VPN technology. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) creates a connection between devices across the Internet. Using Quick VPN allows you to securely connect your computer or mobile device to places with free, untrusted Wi-Fi hotspots in places like coffee shops and hotels by encrypting and relaying it through your home Internet connection.
Quick VPN only provides an added layer of security against specific types of snooping attacks and does not guarantee complete data integrity or protection. Only traffic in the tunnel between your router and device will be encrypted, WAN traffic will leave your D-Link Quick VPN enabled router unencrypted.
