VPN Client

The VPN Client page allows administrators to configure and manage outbound VPN client connections directly on the device. VPN client connections can be used to route traffic through a remote network for secure connectivity, site-to-site access, or policy-based routing. The device supports L2TP with IPSec, providing a widely supported VPN option for remote connectivity.
