Overview of VPN Configuration
The modem router supports both client-to-gateway and gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnels. 
The modem router supports up to five concurrent tunnels.
Client-to-Gateway VPN Tunnels
Client-to-gateway VPN tunnels provide secure access from a remote computer, such as a 
telecommuter connecting to an office network.
Figure 17. Telecommuter VPN tunnel
A VPN client access allows a remote computer to connect to your network from any location 
on the Internet. The remote computer is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client 
software. The modem router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. For more 
information about how to set up this configuration, see 
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.
