ProSafe 802.11g Wireless VPN Firewall FVG318 Reference Manual Overview of VPN Configuration Two common scenarios for configuring VPN tunnels are between a remote personal computer and a network gateway and between two or more network gateways. The FVG318 supports both of these types of VPN configurations. The VPN firewall supports up to eight concurrent tunnels. 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 (see Figure 5-1). FVG318 Figure 5-1 A VPN client access allows a remote PC to connect to your network from any location on the Internet. In this case, the remote PC is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client software. The VPN firewall on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See "Setting Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration" on page 5-5 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 (see Figure 5-2).
