View VPN Client Connection Status on RV120W VPN Firewall

Objective

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that provides connectivity between two remote networks via an Internet tunnel connection. The VPN tunnel encapsulates the data, carries the data to the destination and then de-encapsulates the data for the receiver. The VPN Client Connection Status page displays the VPN clients that are configured on the router and their connection status. This article explains how to view the status of the VPN tunnel clients on the RV120W.

Applicable Device

• RV120W
