TRENDnet User’s Guide  

Tunneling methods supported by your router:  

Virtual Private Networking (VPN)  

•

•

•

•

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) VPN – This type of VPN can be used for Client-Server  

VPN only. There is support for both Layer 3 and Layer 7 network access with  

SSL VPN but your router only supports Layer 3 access. Additionally, your router  

utilizes the use of OpenVPN® for SSL VPN. The third party software client is  

available for free download using the following link for both Windows® and  

Linux operating systems https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-  

source/downloads.html.  

Creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN)  

Network > VPN  

What is a VPN?  

A VPN provides secure communications typically over the Internet by creating a secure  

tunnel between two or more VPN routers (gateways) also known as a site-to-site VPN or  

between a single client computer and a VPN router (gateway) also known as a client-  

server VPN.  

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN – This type of VPN can be used for  

either Site-to-Site VPN or Client-Server VPN, however, the most common  

application for this type is a Site-to-Site VPN. This type of VPN can provide  

highest degree of security. For a Client-Server VPN, typically, a third party VPN  

client software is required to be installed and configured and can be difficult  

when installing and configuring on VPN client computers. This VPN type can  

provide the highest degree of security.  

On your router, the following types of tunnels can be created:  

•

Site-to-Site VPN – Connects two or more VPN routers (gateways) allowing the  

LAN network from each router to securely communicate to each other over the  

Internet. Tunneling Methods: IPsec  

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN – This type of VPN can be used  

for Client-Server VPN only however both server mode and client mode are  

supported on your router. Most computer operating systems already include a  

pre-installed PPTP VPN client software that can be easily configured which  

eliminates the need for an additional third party VPN client software to be  

purchased and installed. Since it provides less security overall than IPsec VPN, it  

is not recommended for a Site-to-Site VPN.  

•

Client-Server VPN – A single client computer or device with VPN client software  

installed connects to a VPN router (gateway) allow the single client computer  

or device to securely communicate to the LAN network of the VPN router over  

the Internet. Tunneling Methods: IPsec/SSL(OpenVPN)/PPTP/L2TP/L2TP with  

IPsec  

L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) VPN – This type of VPN is very similar to  

PPTP VPN as it is most commonly used for a Client-Server VPN, pre-installed on  

most computer operating systems and easy to configure, and provides less  

overall security than IPsec VPN. Most of the current operating systems with  

L2TP VPN client software pre-installed use L2TP VPN in conjunction with IPsec  

VPN to improve the overall security provided. This router does not support the  

L2TP over IPsec VPN method.  

Important Note: For any tunneling or VPN method used, to avoid IP address conflict and  

to ensure connectivity, it is required that each end (LAN IP network or single client) of the  

VPN tunnel is configured with a different IP network or subnet.
