Exceptions

Exceptions allow specific hosts or any host in a network to access the IOLAN outside of a VPN
tunnel. This is especially useful when allowing local network hosts access to the IOLAN when VPN
tunnels have been configured for remote user security.

Field Descriptions

The following buttons are available:

Criteria

Depending on the

Authentication Method

IPsec tunnel (case sensitive). This applies to all VPN tunnels (IPsec and
L2TP/IPsec).

that must match for successful authentication (case sensitive). Note that all
validation criteria must be configured to match the X.509 certificate. An
