TheGreenBow VPN Client is a third-party VPN client application that makes it possible for a host device to configure a secure connection for client-to-site IPsec tunnel with the RV160 and RV260 series routers. The settings must match exactly or they cannot communicate. The VPN client is entirely dependent on the settings of the VPN router to be able to establish a connection. A VPN connection can be set up between the router and an endpoint after the router has been configured for Internet connection. The RV160 router supports up to 10 VPN tunnels, and the RV260 supports up to 20. The VPN allows a remote host, or client, to act as if they were located on the same local network. Corporate offices often use a VPN connection since it is both useful and necessary to allow their employees to have access to their private network even if they are outside the office. IntroductionĪ Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection allows users to access, send, and receive data to and from a private network by means of going through a public or shared network such as the Internet but still ensuring a secure connection to an underlying network infrastructure to protect the private network and its resources.Ī VPN tunnel establishes a private network that can send data securely using encryption and authentication. The objective of this document is to set up and use TheGreenBow IPsec VPN Client to connect with the RV160 and RV260 routers.
