Enable all traffic to VPN (on by default) - if you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network)

connection, e.g. to connect to your office from home, we recommend that you check the

box. AVG Firewall will automatically search through your network adapters, find those

used for VPN connection, and allow all applications to connect to the target network (only

applies to applications with no specific Firewall rule assigned). On a standard system with

common network adapters, this simple step should save you from having to set up a

Note: To enable the VPN connection at all, it is necessary to allow communication to the

following system protocols: GRE, ESP, L2TP, PPTP. This can be done in the System

services dialog.
