Client to Gateway vs. VPN Client Access
Client to Gateway is not customer friendly. It requires the knowledge of IPSec configuration at the client side.
VPN Client Access is more flexible. For a global company with many VPN routers, administrator could copy the routers' certificates to the VPN client folder and configure many profiles. When the customer travels to different location, he or she activates the corresponding profile.
