If a router 'supports VPN' what does that actually mean?

Presumably it doesn't mean that the router runs as a VPN server, or
does it?

If my router supports VPN (which it does, a Draytek 2860N) and I
enable it what else needs to happen to make it useful?  ... and what
does my LAN behind the router look like, is it *all* on the VPN by
default or what?  ... and how do I connect a remote system to the VPN?
