• See Use Manual Policy to Configure VPN Tunnels on page 125 when the VPN Wizard
and its VPNC defaults are not appropriate for your special circumstances and you have to
specify each phase of the connection. You manually enter all the authentication and key
parameters. You have more control over the process; however, the process is more
complex, and there are more opportunities for errors or configuration mismatches
between your DGN2200 and the corresponding VPN endpoint gateway or client
workstation.
Note: NETGEAR publishes additional interoperability scenarios with
various gateway and client software products. Look on the
NETGEAR website at www.netgear.com for these interoperability
scenarios.
Set Up a Client-to-Gateway VPN Configuration
Setting up a VPN between a remote PC running the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client and a
network gateway involves these two steps:
• Step 1: Configure the Client-to-Gateway VPN Tunnel on page 98 describes how to use
the VPN Wizard to configure the VPN tunnel between the remote PC and network
gateway.
• Step 2: Configure the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on page 101 shows how to
configure the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client endpoint.
