the policy for that VPN tunnel.

1. Log in to the Router.
2. Open the DG834 management interface and click on VPN Status to get the VPN Status/Log
screen (

Log—this log shows the details of recent VPN activity, including the building of the VPN
tunnel. If there is a problem with the VPN tunnel, refer to the log for information about what
might be the cause of the problem.
