Overview Of Vpn Configuration; Client-To-Gateway Vpn Tunnels - NETGEAR ProSafe FVG318 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g VPN Firewall Model FVG318

Overview of VPN Configuration

Two common scenarios for configuring VPN tunnels are between a remote personal computer and
a network gateway and between two or more network gateways. The FVG318 supports both of
these types of VPN configurations. The FVG318 wireless VPN firewall supports up to eight
concurrent tunnels.

Client-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels

Client-to-gateway VPN tunnels provide secure access from a remote PC, such as a telecommuter
connecting to an office network.

A VPN client access allows a remote PC to connect to your network from any location on the
Internet. In this case, the remote PC is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client software. The
FVG318 wireless VPN firewall on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See "How to Set Up
a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration" on page 6-5 to set up this configuration.
