Terminology
A VPN connection is often called a “tunnel” (or “VPN tunnel”). Every VPN tunnel
is established between two “endpoints”. In our example one endpoint is VPN
Tracker and the other endpoint is the VPN gateway. Each endpoint is called
the other endpoint’s “peer”.
Please note that for each endpoint, the settings on the other endpoint are
considered to be “remote”, while its own settings are considered to be “local”.
That means a “local” setting from VPN Tracker’s perspective, is a “remote” set-
ting from the VPN gateway’s perspective, and vice versa.
The sample configuration described in this guide is called a “Host to Network”
configuration: a single computer, called a “Host” establishes a VPN tunnel to an
entire “Network” behind the VPN gateway.
