What is Virutal Adapter in VPN Client?
• The Virtual Adapter (VA) is a method to present to the local client machine an interface using remote access service (RAS) or dial-up networking (DUN). It appears to the operating system as another adapter. It is considered a virtual adapter since the packets never actually leave the client machine through that adapter. Rather they are intercepted by the IPSec component and sent via a real, physical adapter (e.g. modem, Ethernet, etc.). >>more information • Do I need to setup any ports setting in my router for VPN Tunnel? • This describes VPN support tested by model. Depending on your ISP configuration and other issues, you may need to open ports for passthrough to work. These ports are: IPSec: 500 L2TP: 1701 and 500 PPTP: 1723 and 500 Each VPN passthrough must have its own 500 port open. The first port is opened normally, as described in port forwarding documents. The other instances of port 500 must each be opened by selecting a unique range of ports that include 500, e.g., 499-501
