In the past, we used PPTP tunnels through the routers to create a server to server tunnel with no problem, but this needs to be hardware based now with no software based connections.<br />

VPN Established betweeen two Linksys BEFSX41 routers, but cannot connect to remote network.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
