A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, is an encrypted connection over the Internet from a device to a network. The encrypted connection helps ensure that sensitive data is safely transmitted. It prevents unauthorized people from eavesdropping on the traffic and allows the user to conduct work remotely. ThingzEye Firewall provides a VPN facility.

a. Log in to the router as admin. You need to know the router’s IP address,
username, and password.
b. Locate the port forwarding options.
c. Type the port number or port range that you want to forward. If you’re forwarding
one port, type the same number under both the Internal and External boxes.
d. Choose a protocol, either TCP or UDP. Choose both, if needed.
e. Type your ThingzEye firewall IP address.
f. Enable the port forwarding rule with an Enable or On option.
g. Finally, click the save button.
2. Now, go back to your ThingzEye Firewall application and click VPN under the Network
Security.
