and to identify the role your system plays in the VPN. Determining the role of your system is one of the first steps in successful planning.
The goal of the advisor is to guide you as you configure your system for VPN. Your system is always the local system in the connection. The advisor asks questions about the remote system to get you thinking about what information you will need to gather when you begin actually configuring the connection.
You will configure your system as either a VPN host or a VPN gateway, depending on how you plan to use the VPN. In either case, the connection endpoint resides on your system. Your system is a host when the application runs on it as well. In other words, the connection endpoint and data endpoints are the same.
Your system is a gateway when the application runs on some other computer in your local network and your system routes IP traffic for that computer. In this case, the connection endpoint and the data endpoint are different.
