6: VPN Configuration
Overview
Virtual Private Network (VPN) uses encryption to create the connection between two end points
(computers or networks). It allows private data to be sent securely over a public network or the
Internet without the risk of outside intruders gaining unauthorized access. VPN establishes a private
network that can send data securely between two networks. We call this by creating a “tunnel”. A VPN
tunnel connects the two PCs or networks
Note: The VPN Load Balancer uses industry standard IPSec encryption. However, due to the
variations in how manufactures interpret these standards, many VPN products are not
interoperable. Although the Multi-WAN VPN Link Balancer can interoperate with many other
VPN products, it is not possible for the Multi-WAN VPN Link Balancer to provide specific
technical support for every other product.
