VPN Client Accounts

You can allow remote users to easily establish a VPN connection to your Router using the Linksys QuickVPN client
utility without using a compatible VPN Router with IPsec VPN settings. This is achieved by creating user accounts
on the Router and authenticate users through Username and Password. After creating user accounts, it will be
summarized in the table below.

For users using QuickVPN, it will first establish an SSL connection with remote Wireless Router to get
authenticated. Then QuickVPN will automatically negotiate IPsec settings with the remote Router. All the data
packets will be encrypted using IPsec thereafter.

The Wireless Router supports up to five Linksys QuickVPN clients by default. Additional QuickVPN Client licenses
can be purchased separately.
