5. Enter a Pre-shared Key; in this example, we are using r3m0+eC1ient, which must also be
entered in the VPN client software. The key length must be 8 characters minimum and cannot
exceed 49 characters.
6. Choose which WAN port to use as the VPN tunnel end point.
7. The public Remote and Local Identifier are automatically filled in by pre-pending the first
several letters of the model number of your gateway to form FQDNs used in the VPN policies.
In this example, we are using GW1_remote.com, and GW1_local.com.
8. Click Apply to save your settings: the VPN Policies screen shows the policy is now enabled.
Use the NETGEAR VPN Client Security Policy Editor to Create a Secure Connection
From a PC with the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client installed, configure a VPN client policy to
connect to the VPN firewall.
Note: If you are using a dual WAN rollover configuration, after completing the
wizard, you must manually update the VPN policy to enable VPN rollover.
This allows the VPN tunnel to roll over when the WAN Mode is set to Auto
Rollover. The wizard will not set up the VPN policy with rollover enabled.
Tip: To assure tunnels stay active, after completing the wizard, manually edit the
VPN policy to enable keepalive which periodically sends ping packets to the
host on the peer side of the network to keep the tunnel alive.
