Section 3 - Configuration

xAuth With the xAuth feature, the VPN client (or initiator) (Extended Authentication): needs to provide additional user information to the remote VPN server (or VPN gateway) for extended authentication. Otherwise, the VPN server will reject the connection request from VPN clients due to an unknown user, even though the pre-shared key is correct. This function is suitable for remote mobile VPN clients. Not only can you configure a VPN rule with a pre-shared key for all remote users, you can also designate that a user is only permitted to establish a VPN connection

with the VPN server.

xAuth - None: Disables Extended Authentication (xAuth).

xAuth - Client Mode: Select this checkbox if the device behaves as a VPN client, and will send user information to remote VPN server for extended authentication. You must input a correct user name and password to pass authentication. Please note that remote VPN servers without xAuth will reject your connect request if you have activated this feature.

xAuth - Server Mode: Select this checkbox if the router should behave as a VPN server, and will verify the legality of user information from the VPN client. The user information that is provided by a VPN client needs to match the user information that is in the user database of the VPN server. Click the XAUTH account button to edit the local user database. Please note that only VPN clients with xAuth can establish VPN connection with the device if this checkbox has been selected.
