That page is more appropriate when you're not using an external VPN provider. It is more intended to discuss the configuration VPNs with a hub-and-spoke or mesh topology.
  
 Unless using an external VPN provider, it's best to "nominate" a main router that will produce configurations. Clients, such as other FreshTomato routers and other devices, must import the configuration generated by this main router. Relevant configuration changes may require you to delete and reimport the configuration on those client devices. Unless using an external VPN provider, it's best to "nominate" a main router that will produce configurations.
