VPN Setup Wizard (Site-to-Site)
The VPN allows a remote host to act as if they were located on the same local network. The router supports
50 tunnels. The VPN Setup Wizard guides in configuring a secure connection for site-to-site IPSec tunnel.
This simplifies the configuration by avoiding complex and optional parameters, so any user can set up the
IPSec tunnel in a fast and efficient manner.
