of your network.
VPN Passthrough
Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is a security measure that basically creates a secure connection between two
remote locations. Configure these settings so the Gateway will permit VPN tunnels to pass through.

exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec Passthrough, click the Enable button. To disable IPSec
Passthrough, click the Disable button.
• PPPoE Passthrough. PPPoE Passthrough allows your PC(s) to use the PPPoE client software provided by your
ISP. Some ISPs may request that you use this feature on the Gateway. To allow PPPoE Passthrough, click the
Enable button. To disable PPPoE Passthrough, click the Disable button.
• PPTP Passthrough. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol Passthrough is the method used to enable VPN sessions
to a Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 server. To allow PPTP Passthrough, click the Enable button. To disable PPTP
Passthrough, click the Disable button.
• L2TP Passthrough. Layering 2 Tunneling Protocol Passthrough is an extension of the Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP) used to enable the operation of a VPN over the Internet.To allow L2TP Passthrough, click the
Enable button. To disable L2TP Passthrough, click the Disable button.
