Vpn And Remote Access - Draytek Vigor2762 series User Manual

IV-1 VPN and Remote Access
IV-1 VPN and Remote Access
A feature central to DrayTek routers is its VPN (Virtual Private Networking) capabilities. A
VPN enables you to link the Vigor 2762 in a home office back to HQ.
Once connected, computers and devices connected to the Vigor 2762's network can access
your office/remote resources through a secure encrypted tunnel allowing remote desktop,
file sharing and seamless access to other resources and devices.
With the 2 subnets available on the Vigor 2762, access to the VPN can be limited to the
internal / private subnet only. The guest network segment will be able to access the
Internet with no access to your Site to Site VPN tunnel.
The Vigor 2762 supports 2 DrayTek SSL VPN tunnel connections. These are encrypted tunnels
linking your teleworkers or remote DrayTek Vigor routers back to your main office using
SSL/TLS technology - the same encryption that you use for secure web sites such as your
bank.
Site to site VPN tunnels can connect branch offices to a main office, with DrayTek SSL VPN
encryption securing the connection between the two offices, a TLS encrypted HTTPS tunnel
which can be more secure than PPTP, and easier to configure than an IPsec VPN tunnel.
Teleworkers can easily create a secure DrayTek SSL VPN tunnel to the DrayTek Vigor 2762
using the DrayTek Smart VPN Client app. DrayTek Smart VPN Client is free and supports
Windows OS, macOS, Apple iOS (iPad, iPhone) and Android.
DrayTek SSL VPN is simple to configure, providing a more secure alternative to the now
obsolete Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP VPN); which has known weaknesses and is
now considered to be insecure. Setup is similar to a PPTP VPN tunnel in that it
authenticates with an SSL VPN Username and Password.
