A VPN client access allows a remote PC to connect to your network from any location on the
Internet. The remote PC is one tunnel endpoint, running the VPN client software. The
wireless modem router on your network is the other tunnel endpoint. See Setting Up a
Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration on page 88 for information about how to set up this
configuration.
