Connecting to the VPN

Modem Connections
VPN is a feature designed for use with broadband Internet
connections. As a result, it is incompatible with
configurations where the Magnia SG20 uses a dial-out ISP
connection. If you attempt to enable VPN on a Magnia SG20
configured to use a modem-based dial-out ISP, you will
receive a message indicating that the VPN cannot be enabled
with the current Internet connection. If you enable the VPN
with a broadband Internet connection, and then decide to
change the Magnia SG20 Internet configuration to use a
dial-out ISP connection, the VPN will be disabled.
Firewall
The VPN feature does not require any manual changes to
your firewall. When you use the VPN, your firewall remains
enabled, protecting your local network and server. Enabling
the VPN opens a communication port in the firewall that is
used only by the VPN software. This opening is secure
because the VPN software is the only system software that
responds to activity transmitted through this port. The port is
automatically closed when the VPN is disabled.
Backup/Restore
The backup and restore features are fully operational when
using the VPN. You can access these features, modify
schedules, and start manual backups from a client accessing
the server through a VPN connection. However, the Magnia
SG20 cannot see shared drives on a client computer accessing
the network through the VPN. This prevents backups from
being configured on shared drives which are located on a
client computer accessing the server through the VPN.
Account Management
When connecting to the Magnia SG20 using the VPN feature,
it is possible to gain access to the Magnia SG20 local network
using one account while retaining access rights based on
