VPN

VPN, or Virtual Private Network enables a secured communication between KVM/net and a remote network by utilizing a gateway, and creating a secured tunnel between KVM/net 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.

If needed, see “VPN and the KVM/net” on page 56 for background information.
