Client-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels
Client-to-gateway VPN tunnels provide secure access from a remote PC, such as a
telecommuter connecting to an office network.
Figure 49. Telecommuter VPN Tunnel
A VPN client access allows a remote PC to connect to your network from any location on the
Internet. The remote PC is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client software. The N300
wireless modem router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See Setting Up a
Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration on page 80 for information about how to set up this
configuration.
Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels
Gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnels provide secure access between networks, such as a
branch or home office and a main office.
Figure 50. VPN Tunnel between Networks
A VPN between two or more NETGEAR VPN-enabled routers is a good way to connect
branch or home offices and business partners over the Internet. VPN tunnels also enable
access to network resources across the Internet. In this case, use gateways on each end of
the tunnel to form the VPN tunnel end points. See Setting Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN
Configuration on page 90 for information about how to set up this configuration.
