Question
How do I enable the SBG7400AC2 gateway to pass VPN traffic to a VPN client on my network?
Answer
In order to connect to a VPN from a VPN client that's connected to the SBG7400AC2, VPN traffic will need to be allowed to pass through the SBG7400AC2 in order to establish the VPN connection.  By default, VPN passthrough is enabled.  This document describes how to allow PPTP VPN or IPsec VPN traffic to pass through the SBG7400AC2 to a VPN client.
