VPN
VPN, or Virtual Private Network enables a secured communication between
KVM/net and a remote network by utilizing a gateway, and creating a secured
tunnel between KVM/net and the gateway. IPSec is the protocol used to
construct the secure tunnel. IPSec provides encryption and authentication
services at the IP level of the protocol stack.
When VPN Connections is selected under Configuration>Network in Expert
mode, you can configure one or more VPN connections.
Selecting one of the existing VPN connections and clicking the edit button or
the add button launches a dialog box to prompt for the details of the
connection. Complete the fields in the dialog box. The RSA keys may be
entered using the Copy and Paste feature of your Browser.
If needed, see “VPN and the KVM/net” on page 56 for background
information.
