What is a single client VPN?

Single client VPN would be particularly useful for clients utilizing mobile devices, laptops, as well as home desktop users. The Meraki Client VPN utilizes the native VPN client built into Windows, OS X, and iOS clients to name a few examples.

How does a client VPN work?

Client VPN creates a tunnel from the client and forwards all VPN traffic through that tunnel to the MX. The MX will then forward the traffic towards the destination. Each client that connects is placed on the subnet specified for Client VPN devices.

What happens if you split a VPN?

If split tunnel is configured, only traffic destined for the remote network will traverse the VPN. If full tunnel is enabled, Internet traffic will be sent over the VPN tunnel in addition to traffic destined for the remote network.

Does VPN work with wireless clients?

Wireless Client VPN would ideally work when users want to utilize their wireless devices, or in an instance where there only are wireless clients in the environment. In this case the VPN SSID option is available; this option creates an SSID that will send all traffic through a VPN tunnel to either an MX Concentrator or VM Concentrator.

Can MX routers use VPN?

Each of those units have both wired and wireless connectivity and can utilize the Site-to-Site VPN feature to forward both wired and wireless traffic to the remote VPN site. Any other MX appliance can also use Site-to-Site VPN, but a separate wireless access point would be necessary to provide wireless network access.

Does SSID work with VPN?

The wireless client will connect to the SSID like a standard wireless network, authenticate if necessary (WPA2-PSK, or 802.1x), and all traffic , or only VPN specific traffic (i.e. Split Tunnel VPN), will be sent through a VPN tunnel to a concentrator.

Customers accessing or moving services to the Amazon Web Services cloud can use Auto VPN to connect directly to a virtual MX inside their Virtual Public Cloud.
