Authentication
Choose whether to use a

tication. Most VPN gateways
use pre-shared keys.
Extended Authentication
VPN Tracker will prompt you
for username and password
if your VPN gateway requests
Extended Authentication
(XAUTH).
Identifiers
Select the type and enter
the local and remote identi-
fiers.
Note: The identifiers need to
be entered in reverse, e.g.
“local” in VPN Tracker is what
is configured as “remote” on
your VPN gateway.
DNS
VPN Tracker can use a DNS
server on the remote net-
work over VPN. It is not nec-
essary to configure remote
DNS right away, you can
always do so later.
