Understanding Working from Home VPN Solutions in 5 Steps
VPN Topology for Working from Home
Connecting Between HQ and Branches?
Branch offices dial LAN-to-LAN VPN to the HQ to have secure access to the company resources.
If HQ dials a LAN-to-LAN VPN to the cloud server, branches can also access to the cloud server via HQ.

Don't Want to Change the Existing Office Network?
Keep your current office network, and simply put a Vigor Router in your LAN to work as VPN server.
1. Connect Vigor Router’s WAN port to DMZ port on your company gateway router (or setup port forwarding for VPN to pass to Vigor Router, e.g., port 443 for SSL VPN).
2. Download Smart VPN Client on your device. Select VPN type, and either add your office network to “more route” or enable Change Default Route.
3. Done! Start working from home!
It works for LAN-to-LAN VPN as well! See more at Single Arm VPN

VPN Server Behind NAT Made Easy
Some ISPs assign private IP addresses for a multi-site company, and most 4G providers offer private IP, too.
VPN Server with private IP behind NAT makes branches unable to establish a LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnel.
To overcome the limitations, register all your VPN Vigor Routers to DrayTek VPN Matcher, then VPN Matcher will help exchanging the connection information between VPN Server and branches.
With the connection information, VPN tunnel can be established successfully.
