Router features for VPN connection

H2O

When a router configuration option states these options:

If you want to run a VPN through the router you should enable this option.
1. L2TP
2. PPTP
3. IPSec

Do I understand correctly that it refers to run a VPN server inside the LAN, as opposed to connecting to such a server on the Internet? Also, none of these is necessary as a part of OpenVPN, is that right? Thanks.

None of these option are for OpenVPN.

There is very little point running a VPN over your private LAN .. you would want a VPN to operate across the Internet.

I think you mean, connecting from outside to your VPN server inside your LAN.
Then answer is, yes.
