3.3 VPN Server
VPN context In a VPN client-server scenario, the VPN server is always the responder in the IKE
negotiations. Various VPN clients can dial in to a VPN server, since it supports
multiple simultaneous VPN connections. A VPN server does not know a priori which
remote Security Gateway will attempt to set up a VPN connection. In time, new
users may join the VPN. It is an advantage that the SpeedTouch™ VPN server
requires no modifications to its configuration when new clients are added to the
VPN. The SpeedTouch™ can establish a secure connection with any Remote
Gateway that meets the VPN settings, regardless its location in the public network.
The use of the Extended Authentication protocol can optionally be configured. In
this case, a list of authorized users is composed and stored in the SpeedTouch™.
Selecting the VPN
Server application
In Expert Mode, click VPN > VPN Server. The VPN Server Configuration page
appears, which combines all VPN server settings on a single Web page.
