What you will need

encrypted Internet connection, a VPN connection eliminates any significant risk of data being read or altered by outside users as it traverses the Internet.

What you will need

1One WatchGuard SOHO with VPN and an IPSec-compliant

device.

While you can create a SOHO to SOHO VPN, you can also create a VPN with a WatchGuard Firebox or other IPSec-compliant devices.

2The following information from your Internet service provider for both devices:

-Static IP address

-Default gateway address

-Primary domain name service (DNS) IP address

-If available, a secondary DNS address

-Domain name

3Network addresses and subnet mask for networks. By default, the Private, network address of the SOHO is 192.168.111.0 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

NOTE The internal networks on either end of the VPN tunnel must use different network addresses.

To create an IPSec tunnel between devices you must add information to the configuration files of each that is specific to the site, such as public and private IP addresses. It is imperative to keep these addresses straight. WatchGuard recommends making a table of IP addresses such as the one outlined below.
