Set Up VPN Connections
You can do the following to set up VPN connections:
•
Use IPSec VPN. With IPSec VPN, you can set up a site-to-site VPN connection between
a NETGEAR BR200 and another VPN router, each at a different site. This setup lets
you connect two local LANs and join separate networks together as if they were
physically connected and colocated.
•
Use OpenVPN. With OpenVPN software, you can set up a client-to-gateway VPN
connection and remotely access an office or site at which a NETGEAR BR200 router
is installed.
This chapter describes how to set up IPSec VPN on the router and how to set up
OpenVPN on both the router and on a computer or mobile device.
The chapter includes the following sections:
• Set up an IPSec VPN connection
• Set up an OpenVPN connection
