VPN Wizard Configuration Help

The Wizard will ask you series of questions that determine the IPSec keys and VPN policies it sets up. The VPN Wizard sets the parameters for the network connection, Security Association, traffic selectors, authentication algorithm, and encryption. These parameters are set based on the VPNC recommendations. More information on the VPNC recommendations will be presented in the VPN Wizard summary page.


Step 1 of 3: Connection Name and Remote IP Type

Connection Name - Enter an appropriate name for the connection. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN Endpoint. It is used to help you manage the VPN settings.

Pre-shared Key - The key must be entered both here and on the remote VPN Gateway, or the remote VPN Client. This method does not require using a CA (Certificate Authority).

VPN tunnel connection - The wizard needs to know if you are planning to connect to a remote Gateway or setting up the connection for a remote client/PC to establish a secure connection to this device.


Step 2 of 3: Remote IP address or the Internet name

Enter the remote IP address of the Gateway you want to connect to, or provide the Internet name of the Gateway. The Internet name is the Fully Qualified Domain Name, as setup in a Dynamic DNS service.


Step 3 of 3: Secure Connection Remote Accessibility
