VPN Server
The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network
in a secure way through the Internet when you are out of home. The router offers two
ways to set up VPN connection: OpenVPN and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol)
VPN.
OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with higher security and stability. It is suitable for
restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet.
PPTP VPN is more easily used and with faster speed; it’s compatible with most operating
systems and also supports mobile devices. Its security is poor and your packets may be
cracked easily, and PPTP VPN connection may be prevented by some ISPs.
This chapter contains the following sections, and please choose the appropriate VPN
server connection type as needed.
