UPnP Settings

UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked

devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network,

obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other

devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows

supported devices to leave a network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other

devices on the network. UPnP is a protocol supported by diverse networking media including

Ethernet, Firewire, phone line, and power line networking.

VPN Pass-Through

This feature allows VPN connections to pass through the Router. It is enabled by default.
