Here you can let your ASUSTOR NAS become a VPN client, and via PPTP or Open VPN, 
connect to a VPN server to access a virtual private network. ASUSTOR NAS supports the 
use of different connection settings files, allowing you to connect to the VPN server of your 
choice. The ASUSTOR VPN client currently supports the two most common connection 
protocols: PPTP and OpenVPN. 
Reminder: The VPN client cannot be used simultaneously with the VPN Server. If 
you need to use the VPN client, please first stop any use of the VPN server.
