Vpn Setup and Troubleshooting Guides

A router VPN client sends local traffic through a remote VPN; a router VPN server permits authorized inbound access. A device VPN app is separate, and site-to-site VPN connects networks. Each requires different model features and ISP conditions.

Four different VPN jobs

Router client	Route home devices through a VPN	Model and firmware support
Router server	Reach home from elsewhere	Reachable WAN and secure access
