Connection type

For each IPSec rule, you can define which connection types on your computer are affected. The connection types apply to all connections in Network Connections on the computer for which you are configuring IPSec policy.

Each rule has one connection type setting:

  • All Network Connections. The rule applies to communications sent through any of the network connections that you have configured on the computer.

  • Local Area Network (LAN). The rule only applies to communications sent through LAN connections that you have configured on the computer.

  • Remote Access. The rule only applies to communications sent through any virtual private network (VPN) or dial-up connections that you have configured on the computer.

For information about how to configure connection types, see Specify IPSec connection types.
