A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can extend a private network and can encrypt data across a tunnel to increase security. Typically, there are two types of VPNs, Client-to-Site and Site-to-Site.

Client-to-Site is used to connect a PC or other device to a private network to access the resources located on that private network. An example for this is connecting to an office or school network to access specific resources on that network.

Site-to-Site is used to connect two networks together to allow communication between devices on that network. An example for this is connecting two physically distant offices together.

Omada Gateways have support for several VPN types. Please check the specifications of your gateway model to confirm what VPN types your model supports. Configuration guides for each VPN type can be found below.
