•IP Address or DNS Name - Specifies the peer VPN gateway IP address or DNS name.

•Use the default gateway as the peer IP address - Specifies the default gateway as the peer IP address.

•Detect when this peer stops responding (Dead Peer Detection) - Automatically initiates VPN connection again if the VPN gateway does not respond for three consecutive heart beats. The Global VPN Client exchanges “heart beat” packets to detect if the peer gateway is alive. This setting is enabled by default.
