4. On the Overwrite or add Profile screen, you can select to overwrite a profile of the same name. This
is useful if your network administrator gives you a new .wgx file and you must reimport it. Click Next.
5. If you connect to a Firebox X Edge, click Finish.
If you connect to a Firebox running Fireware appliance software, click Next.
6. On the Authentication screen, you can select whether to type the user name and password that you
use to authenticate the VPN tunnel. If you keep these fields clear, you are prompted to enter your user
name and password each time you connect to the VPN.
If you type your user name and password here, the Firebox stores it and you do not have to enter this
information each time you connect. However, this is a security risk. Optionally, you can type just your
user name and keep the Password field clear. This can minimize the amount of data required for the
VPN connection.
Click Next.
7. Click Finish.
The computer is now ready to use Mobile VPN with IPSec.

Uninstall the Mobile VPN client
At some point, it can become necessary to uninstall the Mobile VPN client. We recommend that you use the
Windows Add/Remove Programs tool to uninstall the Mobile VPN client. After the Mobile VPN client software
is installed the first time, it is not necessary to uninstall the Mobile VPN client software before you apply any
upgrades to the client software.
Before you start, disconnect all tunnels and close the Mobile VPN Connection Monitor. Then, from the
Windows desktop:
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
The Control Panel window appears.
2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
The Add/Remove Programs window appears.
3. Select WatchGuard Mobile VPN and click Change/Remove.
The InstallShield Wizard window appears.
4. Click Remove and click Next.
The Confirm File Deletion dialog box appears.
5. Click OK to completely remove all of the components. If you do not select this box at the end of the
uninstall, the next time you install the Mobile VPN software the connection settings from this
installation populate in the next installation.
If the password you use is your password on an Active Directory or LDAP server and you choose to
store it, the password becomes invalid when it changes on the authentication server.
