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” setting 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.
