Use the Gateways & Servers menu to configure the gateway and enable blades.

Examples of VPN Access Rules for Remote Access

This rule allows traffic from all VPN Communities to the internal network on all services:

Basic Gateway Configuration

As a best practice, use these gateway settings for most remote access clients. See the documentation for your client for more details.

Including Users in the Remote Access Community

By default, the Remote Access VPN Community includes a user group, All Users, that includes all defined users. You can use this group or add different user groups to the Remote Access VPN Community.

Examples of VPN Access Rules for Remote Access

This rule allows traffic from all VPN Communities to the internal network on all services:

Deploying Remote Access Clients

See the documentation for your remote access client for deployment instructions.

Configuring Remote Access Policy

Configure Remote Access VPN policy in the Unified Access Control Policy Rule Base.

Defining Access Control Rules

Access control is a layer of security not connected with VPN. When there is a Remote Access Community, it does not mean that members of that community have free, automatic access to the network. Security rules have to be created in the Access Control Policy Rule Base blocking or allowing specific services.

Access Roles for Remote Access

For Security Gateways R80.10 and higher, create Access Roles for Remote Access and VPN Clients to include them in rules in the Access Control Rule Base. This applies to Mobile Access and IPsec clients. When an Access Role for a client is in the Source column of a rule, the rule applies to traffic that originates from that client.

Policy Definition for Remote Access

There must be a rule in the Security Policy Rule Base that grants remote users access to the LAN. Consider which services are allowed. Restrict those services that need to be restricted with an explicit rule in the Security Policy Rule Base.

Modifying Encryption Properties for Remote Access VPN

The encryption properties of the users participating in a Remote Access community are set by default. If you must modify the encryption algorithm, the data integrity method and/or the Diffie-Hellman group, you can either do this globally for all users or configure the properties per user.

Installing the Policy

Install the policy and instruct the users to create or update the site topology.

IPsec and IKE for Remote Access

For Remote users, the IKE settings are configured in Global Properties > Remote Access > VPN Authentication and Encryption.
