Question
How do I enable the SBG7580-AC 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 SBG7580-AC, VPN traffic will need to be allowed to pass through the SBG7580-AC 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 SBG7580-AC to a VPN client.
