VPN

 

 

Name

The name of the tunnel.

Remote gateway The IP address and UDP port of the remote gateway. For dynamic DNS

 

tunnels, the IP address is updated dynamically.

Timeout

The time before the next key exchange. The time is calculated by

 

subtracting the time elapsed since the last key exchange from the keylife.

Proxy ID Source The IP address of the host, server, or private network behind the FortiGate

 

unit. A network range may be displayed if the source address in the firewall

 

encryption policy was expressed as a range of IP addresses.

Proxy ID

The IP address of the remote peer.

Destination

 

Bring down tunnel icon

Bring up tunnel icon

Take down the selected VPN tunnel. The remote VPN peer may have to reconnect to establish a new VPN session.

Establish the selected VPN tunnel.

PPTP

FortiGate units support PPTP to tunnel PPP traffic between two VPN peers. Windows or Linux PPTP clients can establish a PPTP tunnel with a FortiGate unit that has been configured to act as a PPTP server. As an alternative, you can configure the FortiGate unit to forward PPTP packets to a PPTP server on the network behind the FortiGate unit.

For information about how to perform these tasks, see “PPTP configuration procedures” on page 268.

To enable PPTP and specify the PPTP address range

1Go to VPN > PPTP > PPTP Range.

2Enable PPTP and specify the address range.

PPTP range

The PPTP address range is the range of addresses reserved for remote PPTP clients. When the remote PPTP client connects, the FortiGate unit assigns an IP address from a reserved range of IP addresses to the client PPTP interface. The PPTP client uses the assigned IP address as its source address for the duration of the connection.
