Typically, the VPN firewall is installed as a network gateway to function as a combined LAN
switch and firewall to protect the network from incoming threats and provide secure
connections. To complement the firewall protection, NETGEAR advises that you use a
gateway security appliance such as a NETGEAR ProSecure STM appliance.
The tasks that are required to complete the Internet connection of your VPN firewall depend
on whether you use an IPv4 connection, an IPv6 connection, or both to your Internet service
provider (ISP).
Note: The VPN firewall supports simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
