Configuring the Firebox for Mobile User VPN

From the Remote User Setup dialog box:

1Click the PPTP tab.

2 Click Add.

3Use the Choose Type drop list to select either a host or network.

You can configure up to 50 addresses. If you select a network address, Remote User PPTP will use the first 50 addresses in the subnet.

4In the Value field, enter the host or network address in slash notation. Click OK.

Enter unused IP addresses that the Firebox can dynamically assign to clients during Remote User PPTP sessions. Selected addresses must not appear in the Blocked Sites list. The IP address appears in the list of addresses available to remote clients.

5Repeat the add process until you have configured all addresses for use with Remote User PPTP.

Rules for valid Remote User PPTP addresses

Addresses that have host routes are invalid

Traffic routed through the default gateway does not receive proxy ARP treatment

Addresses whose packets would be routed through the External interface (but not through the default gateway) are invalid

Addresses in networks to which you have routes are invalid (except those that are routed through default route)

Any other packets are allowed and handled by proxy ARP

Add user names to the built-in Firebox group ipsec_users

Enter the IPSec license key into the Firebox configuration file

Configure service properties using ipsec_users

Distribute the end-user configuration files along with the RUVPN client software and documentation
