Question
How do I enable the SBR-AC1200P 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 SBR-AC1200P, VPN traffic will need to be allowed to pass through the SBR-AC1200P 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 SBR-AC1200P to a VPN client.
 
To Enable VPN Passthrough
  1. Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.  Enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address box, and press the Enter key.  The Login page appears.

    NOTE: By default the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1.  If the default address has been changed, enter the custom address in the address box.
