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 (see
Figure 6-1 ).
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
DG834 ADSL Modem Router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See
“How to Set Up a
Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration” on page 6-6 to set up this configuration.
