Virtual Private Networks 9-3

Conﬁguring the Netopia Router for use with either of the two protocols is done through the console-based menu

screens. Each type is described in its own section:

■ “About PPTP tunnels” on page 9-4

■ “About ATMP Tunnels” on page 9-16

Your conﬁguration depends on which protocol you (and the router at the other end of your tunnel) will use, and

whether or not you will be using the VPN client software in a standalone remote connection.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connects the components of one network over another network. VPNs

accomplish this by allowing you to

tunnel

through the Internet or another public network in a manner that

provides the same security and features formerly available only in private networks.

VPNs allow networks to communicate across an IP network. Your local networks (connected to the Netopia

Router) can exchange data with remote networks that are also connected to a VPN-capable router.

This feature provides individuals at home, on the road, or in branch ofﬁces with a cost-effective and secure way

to access resources on remote LANs connected to the Internet with Netopia Routers. The feature is built

around two key technologies: PPTP and ATMP.
