Section 5 - Quick VPN
Quick VPN
This router is equipped with D-Link's Quick VPN technology. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) creates a connection between
devices across the Internet. Using Quick VPN allows you to securely connect your computer or mobile device to places
with free, untrusted Wi-Fi hotspots in places like coee shops and hotels by encrypting and relaying it through your home
Internet connection. This extra 'hop' reduces the chances of hackers stealing your information, such as logins, passwords,
and credit card numbers. When traveling, Quick VPN lets you watch sports and use video streaming services without
experiencing blackouts or ltering. You can surf the whole Internet unltered and unblocked, just as you would at home.

Important Information
The following instructions explain and help you to congure your D-Link Quick VPN enabled router and devices to create
a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This feature is provided for advanced users who wish to connect remotely and use their
router's Internet connection to add a layer of security while using untrusted networks. Congure the Quick VPN Server on
your router rst and then set up client devices to connect through your router's WAN connection.
• Quick VPN only provides an added layer of security against specic types of snooping attacks and does not guarantee complete data integrity
or protection. Only trac in the tunnel between your router and device will be encrypted, WAN trac will leave your D-Link Quick VPN enabled
router unencrypted.
• Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. It is recommended
that you change these credentials periodically.
• A device connected via Quick VPN tunnel may experience lower data throughput and higher latency due to a number of factors including:
Internet conditions, local and remote network Wi-Fi and WAN bandwidth limitations, and increased latency. This may negatively impact real
time voice and video communication.
• Quick VPN supports up to ve concurrent VPN client sessions using the same login and password are supported. Quick VPN uses L2TP/IPsec
with MSCHAPv2, PAP, or CHAP authentication.
• You device may warn you that your information may be intercepted, since you control the Quick VPN server, you may ignore this.
• UDP Ports 500, 4500, 1701 and IP Port 50 must be open in order for Quick VPN to work.
• L2TP/IPsec VPN usage may be restricted in some countries and on some networks. If you have trouble using Quick VPN on some networks, but
not others and are not violating network access rules, try contacting your ISP or network administrator.
• Devices connected via Quick VPN are assigned addresses on a separate subnet (ex. 192.168.1.x). Some network resources may be unavailable
when connecting via Quick VPN.
• If your Internet connection uses DHCP, it is strongly recommended that you rst set up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), such as D-Link DDNS, to eliminate
the need to recongure client devices in the event your ISP assigns you a new WAN IP address.
