VPN
VPN, or Virtual Private Network enables a secured communication between KVM/netPlus and a remote network by utilizing a gateway, and creating a secured tunnel between KVM/netPlus and the gateway. IPSec is the protocol used to construct the secure tunnel. IPSec provides encryption and authentication services at the IP level of the protocol stack.
When VPN Connections is selected under Configuration>Network in Expert mode, you can configure one or more VPN connections.
Selecting one of the existing VPN connections and clicking the edit button or the add button launches a dialog box to prompt for the details of the connection. Complete the fields in the dialog box. The RSA keys may be entered using the Copy and Paste feature of your Browser.
To Configure VPN
For the VPN to function to properly, ensure that you have also enabled IPSec. See To Select or Configure a Security Profile [Wizard] for instructions on configuring IPSec.

To add a VPN Connection, select the Add button.
The New/Modify Connection dialog box appears.
Note: If the selected authentication method is RSA Public Keys, the dialog box on the left of the previous figure is used; if the authentication method is Shared Secret, the dialog box on the right is used.

Any descriptive name you want to use to identify this connection such as “MYCOMPANYDOMAIN-VPN.”
The authentication protocol used, either “ESP” (Encapsulating Security Payload) or “AH” (Authentication Header).
Authentication method used to establish a VPN connection, either “RSA Public Keys” or “Shared Secret.”
This is the hostname that a local system and a remote system use for IPSec negotiation and authentication.
The router through which the KVM/netPlus (on the left side) or the remote host (on the right side) sends packets to the host on the other side.
Note: Use CIDR notation, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/nn. The IP number followed by a slash and the number of ‘one’ bits in the binary notation of the netmask. For example, 192.168.0.0/24 indicates an IP address where the first 24 bits are used as the network address. This is the same as 255.255.255.0.
RSA Key (If RSA Public Keys is selected
 
You need to generate a public key for the KVM/netPlus and find out the key used on the remote gateway. You can use copy and paste to enter the key in the “RSA Key” field.
Pre-Shared Secret (If “Shared Secret” is selected)
