2. Select VPN Client as your VPN tunnel connection.
3. Create a Connection Name like “Client to GW1”.
This descriptive name is not supplied to the remote VPN client; it is only for your reference.
4. Enter a Pre-shared Key; in this example, we are using r3m0+eC1ient, which must also be
entered in the VPN client software. The key length must be 8 characters minimum and cannot
exceed 49 characters.
5. The public Remote and Local Identifier are automatically filled in by pre-pending the first
several letters of the model number of your gateway to form FQDNs used in the VPN policies.
In this example, we are using GW1_remote.com, and GW1_local.com.

Tip: To assure tunnels stay active, after completing the wizard, manually edit the

host on the peer side of the network to keep the tunnel alive.
