## VPN Passthrough

  Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for work-related networking. For VPN tunnels, the router supports IPSec Passthrough and PPTP Passthrough.
IPSec
  Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the router, IPSec Passthrough is enabled by default. To disable IPSec Passthrough, select Disable.
PPTP
  Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable VPN sessions to a Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 server. To allow PPTP tunnels to pass through the router, PPTP Passthrough is enabled by default. To disable PPTP Passthrough, select Disable.
