sure to enter a unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field.

Remote ID /

Pre-shared Key

This optional field becomes available when Remote ID /Pre-shared Key is selected as the

Peplink Balance’s VPN Authentication method, as explained above. Pre-shared Key

defines the pre-shared key used for this particular VPN connection. While the Remote ID is

mandatory for authentication, the Pre-shared Key is optional; providing an extra layer of

security.

The connection will be up only if the pre-shared keys on each side match. When the peer is

running firmware 5.0+, this setting will be ignored. Pre-shared keys can be up to 63

characters in length,

Enter Remote IDs either by typing out each Remote ID and Pre-shared Key, or by pasting a

CSV. If you wish to paste your credentials from an existing CSV file, click the icon next

to the “Remote ID / Preshared Key” setting.

Remote

ID/Remote

Certificate

These optional fields become available when X.509 is selected as the Peplink Balance’s

VPN authentication method, as explained above. To authenticate VPN connections using

X.509 certificates, copy and paste certificate details into these fields. To get more

information on a listed X.509 certificate, click the Show Details link below the field.

Allow Shared

Remote ID

When this option is enabled, the router will allow multiple peers to run using the same

remote ID.

NAT Mode

When NAT Mode is enabled, all remote traffic over the VPN will be tagged with the IP

address assigned by the DHCP server.

This prevents address conflicts when multiple remote sites are on the same LAN subnet.

Remote IP

Address / Host

Names

(Optional)

If NAT Mode is not enabled, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or

hostname(s) here. If the remote uses more than one address, enter only one of them here.

Multiple hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage

return. Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.

This field is optional. With this field filled, the Peplink Balance will initiate connection to each

of the remote IP addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty,

the Peplink Balance will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of

the two VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be

established.

Data Port

This field is used to specify a UDP port number for transporting outgoing VPN data. If

Default is selected, UDP port 4500 will be used. Port 32015 will be used if the remote unit

uses Firmware prior to version 5.4 or if port 4500 is unavailable.

If Custom is selected, enter an outgoing port number from 1 to 65535. This is useful for

situations where UDP ports 4500 and 32015 are blocked.

Port numbers do not need to be the same on both ends of the VPN tunnel.

Bandwidth

Limit

Define maximum download and upload speed to each individual peer. This functionality

requiresthe peer to use PepVPN version 4.0.0 or above.

WAN

Select the degreeto which WAN Smoothing will be implemented across your WAN links.
