Terminology

A VPN connection is often called a "tunnel" (or "VPN tunnel"). Every VPN tunnel is established between two "endpoints".

In our example one endpoint is VPN Tracker and the other endpoint is the VPN gateway.

Please note that for each endpoint, the settings on the other endpoint are considered to be "remote", while its own settings

are considered to be "local". That means a "local" setting from VPN Tracker's perspective, is a "remote" setting from the

VPN gateway's perspective, and vice versa.

The sample conﬁguration described in this guide is called a "Host to Network" conﬁguration: A single computer, called a

"Host" establishes a VPN tunnel to an entire "Network" behind the VPN gateway.
