10. VPN (Virtual Private Network) Section
VPN > Status
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a secure connection between two remote locations or two users over the public Internet. It provides
authentication to securely encrypt the data communicated between the two remote endpoints. The ESR300H supports up to 5 VPN tunnels, making
it ideal for small-office and home-office (SOHO) users.
To view the status of your VPN tunnels that were configured on the ESR300H, select the Status option in the VPN section. The status table will
show the name of the VPN, the VPN type, the Gateway/Peer IP address, how many packets have been transmitted and received, and how the VPN
has been up.
You can set the VPN tunnels by either the user friendly Wizard or the manual Profile Setting. It is highly recommended to start with the Wizard to
establish VPN tunnels. If you are an advanced user and would like to manually configure VPN Settings, select Profile Setting for advanced VPN
setting.
