6.11 VPN (IPSec) Example

Common VPN Situations - VPN Pass-through

Figure: VPN Pass-through

Here, a PC on the LAN behind the Router/Gateway is using VPN software, but the Router/Gateway is NOT

acting as a VPN endpoint. It is only allowing the VPN connection.

 The PC software can use any VPN protocol supported by the remote VPN.

 The remote VPN Server must support client PCs which are behind a NAT router, and so have an IP

address which is not valid on the Internet.

 The Router/Gateway requires no VPN configuration, since it is not acting as a VPN endpoint.

Client PC to VPN Gateway

Figure: Client PC to VPN Gateway

In this situation, the PC must run appropriate VPN client software in order to connect, via the Internet, to the

WN-300ARM-VPN or other VPN Gateway. Once connected, the client PC has the same access to LAN

resources as PCs on the local LAN (unless restricted by the network administrator).

 IPsec is not the only protocol which can be used in this situation, but the Wireless ADSL Router

supports IPsec ONLY.
