Special considerations

Consider the following before configuring your WatchGuard SOHO VPN network:

You can connect only two devices together: a WatchGuard SOHO and either another SOHO or another IPSec-compliant device. To set up multiple VPN tunnels, you will need to upgrade at least one SOHO to a WatchGuard Firebox configured with the WatchGuard VPN Manager.

Each device must be able to send messages to the other. If either device has a dynamically assigned Internet (IP) address (see “Network addressing” on page 12 for an explanation of dynamic IP addresses), it will not be able to find its remote counterpart.

Both devices must be set to use the same encryption method. The two choices are DES or 3DES. When connecting two Windows NT networks, the two networks must be in the same Microsoft Windows domain or be trusted domains. This is a Microsoft Networking design implementation and is not a limitation of the SOHO device.
