Answer This Question

A:  Well, this is not a router, so it is likely not the conventional device you are thinking it to be. Rather the purpose of this switch is to unintelligibly forward all incoming traffic to all ports, whilst simultaneously providing access to a virtual private network... Likely to be used with Oracle or some other database work applications from remote locale. It does not provide the ability to tunnel, or M2M (machine to machine) VPN capabilities... So it will not work in applications such as that, which is truly the most common requirement for a VPN switch or router. So in short... None... This will provide most average home owners and or consumers with zero advantages... Unless of course they have a very specific requirement to access, but not tunnel securely, to a remove VPN.
