VPN Router to VPN Router
An example of a VPN Router-to-VPN Router VPN would
be as follows. At home, a telecommuter uses his VPN
Router for his always-on Internet connection. His router
is configured with his office's VPN settings. When he
connects to his office's router, the two routers create a VPN
tunnel, encrypting and decrypting data. As VPNs utilize
the Internet, distance is not a factor. Using the VPN, the
telecommuter now has a secure connection to the central
office's network, as if he were physically connected. For
more information, refer to "Appendix D: Configuring a
Gateway-to-Gateway IPSec Tunnel. "
