Bridged •
Bridging is a technique for creating a virtual, wide-
area Ethernet LAN, running on a single subnet.
The advantages of bridging are broadcasts will
traverse the VPN which in some situations is
desirable, and no routing rules are required. The
disadvantages are broadcasts can be problematic
on a wireless network as the over-the-air traffic is
increased and bridging does not scale well as new
devices are added to the network.
Routed •
Routing will create a separate sub-net for each
VPN connection, to access one subnet from
another requires routing rules to be configured
at the VPN router. The advantages of routing are
efficiency, scaleability and no broadcast traffic, this
is particularly important with wireless networks
to reduce the over-the-air traffic. The disadvan-
tage is that routing rules are required which adds
to the configuration.
Remote address
Specify the address of the remote VPN server.
Remote port
Specify the port number of the remote VPN server.
