Virtual Private Networking (Advanced Feature)

8-1

This chapter describes how to use the virtual private networking (VPN) features of the DG834G 
wireless router. VPN communications paths are called tunnels. VPN tunnels provide secure, 
encrypted communications between your local network and a remote network or computer. 

This chapter is organized as follows:

•

 provides an overview of the two most 

common VPN configurations: Client-to-Gateway and Gateway-to-Gateway.

•

 provides a worksheet for recording the configuration 

parameters of the VPN you want to set up, along with the VPN Committee (VPNC) 
recommended default parameters set by the VPN Wizard.

•

 summarizes the three ways to configure a VPN 

tunnel: VPN Wizard (recommended for most situations), Auto Policy, and Manual Policy.

•

 provides the steps 

needed to configure a VPN tunnel between a remote PC and a network gateway using the VPN 
Wizard and the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client.

•

 provides the steps 

needed to configure a VPN tunnel between two network gateways using the VPN Wizard.

•

 provides the step-by-step procedures for activating, 

verifying, deactivating, and deleting a VPN tunnel once the VPN tunnel has been configured.

•

 provides the steps 

needed to configure VPN tunnels when there are special circumstances and the VPNC 
recommended defaults of the VPN Wizard are inappropriate. The two alternatives for 
configuring VPN tunnels are Auto Policy and Manual Policy.
