IPSec

This page allows the NetComm NF2 to act as a VPN IPSec endpoint. Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is used to secure IP (Internet

Protocol) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec also includes

protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic

keys to be used during the session.

VPN-L2TP

This page allows you to configure a Layer 2 Tunnelling protocol. It does not provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself; it relies

on an encryption protocol that it passes within the tunnel to provide privacy.

VPN-PPTP Client

The Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for implementing virtual private networks. PPTP uses a control channel

over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP packets.
