their respective local router. Therefore it is essential to configure a different Local Address in VPN Tracker for each VPN
user if multiple users connect concurrently.
Why do I have to set a fixed Local Address when my NETGEAR is not the default gateway (router) in its LAN?
If the NETGEAR is not the default gateway, this means that computers the VPN clients communicate with do not connect
to the Internet through the NETGEAR.
In such an environment, you will have to ensure that those computers (and all other resources accessed through the VPN,
such as printers and NAS drives) know where to send replies for VPN clients. This is much easier, if you know what IP
addresses your VPN clients will be using, and therefore you should enter an individual fixed IP address in the Local
Address field on each VPN client.
Once you have decided on a range of IP address to be used for VPN clients, you can either
‣
set a route to the NETGEAR for the VPN clients’ IP addresses on each host that needs to communicate with VPN
clients, or
‣
have the default gateway redirect all traffic for the VPN clients’ IP addresses to the NETGEAR
