Installing the Mobile VPN with IPSec Client

The installation process consists of two parts: installing the client software on the remote computer and importing the end-user profile into the client. Before you start the installation, make sure you have the following installation components, which you should get from your network administrator:

•The Mobile VPN installation file

•An end-user profile, with a file extension of .wgx

•Shared Key

•A .p12 certificate file (if you are connecting to a Firebox® X Core or Peak and use certificates to authenticate)

•User name and password (if you are connecting to a Firebox X Core or Peak and use Extended Authentication)

Write the shared key down and keep it in a secure location. You must use it during the final steps of the installation procedure.

To install the client:

1Copy the Mobile VPN .zip file to the remote computer and extract the contents of the file.

2Copy the end-user profile (the .wgx file) to the root directory on the remote (client or employee)

computer.

If you use certificates to authenticate, copy the .p12 file to the root directory as well.

3Run the Mobile VPN executable file by double-clicking the .exe file you extracted in step 1. This

starts the WatchGuard Mobile VPN Installation wizard.

You must restart your computer when the installation wizard completes.
