Client-to-Site tunnels. L2TP over IPSec tunnels provide remote access when connecting Windows native VPN clients. The EVR100 supports 5 IPSec VPN tunnels, making it ideal for small-office and home-office (SOHO) users. The EVR100 also provides advanced SPI firewall, denial of service (DoS) attack blocking, MAC filtering, and URL filtering to secure high- speed network connections.
IPSec Site-to-Site VPN tunnels typically are used when two remote locations want to exchange confidential data. To set up an IPSec Site-to-Site VPN tunnel, configure two EVR100 VPN routers to establish a secured channel. The computers connected to the EVR100s can then exchange the data securely using the VPN tunnel.
