Virtual Private Networking

VPN when using Firewalls and Routers.

If you are using a firewall and/or router you may not be able to connnect to VPN using the default setup of your device. You may need to configure your firewall and/or router to allow traffic to and from the VPN server. Due to the number of different firewall and router products, we cannot offer help on configurations to get VPN access working. We can offer some information on what you may need to input in order to get VPN access through your firewall and/or router.

Using this information or a combination of it along with the documentation for your firewall or router, should make it possible to connect to VPN while still using your device without any loss of security.
