How does the Meraki client VPN work?
The Meraki Client VPN utilizes the native VPN client built into Windows, OS X, and iOS clients to name a few examples. 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.
How does the MX work with client VPN?
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 is PAP in Meraki?
Meraki client VPN uses the password authentication protocol (PAP) to transmit and authenticate credentials. PAP authentication is always transmitted inside an IPsec tunnel between the client device and the MX security appliance using strong encryption. User credentials are never transmitted in clear text over the WAN or the LAN. An attacker sniffing on the network will never see user credentials because PAP is the inner authentication mechanism used inside the encrypted IPsec tunnel.
How to enable VPN?

Typical Use Cases
Teleworker VPN can be used to connect small branch offices (<5 people), teleworker or executive home offices, temporary site offices (eg. construction sites) and traveling employees on the road back to the corporate LAN and provide access to corporate resources back at headquarters.
How it Works
A Meraki AP at a remote site establishes a layer 2 connection using an IPSec-encrypted UDP tunnel back to the corporate LAN. Tunnels are established on a per SSID basis, and terminate at headquarters on a Meraki MX security appliance.
Creating Teleworker Networks
It is recommended that a separate network be created in Dashboard for each remote site location for purposes of manageability and usage tracking. Remote site networks should be created and access points added to the networks using the Quick Start guide. Get started by selecting “Create a network” from the network selector in Dashboard.
What is a non-Meraki peer?
By default, a non-Meraki peer configuration applies to all MX-Z appliances in your Dashboard Organization. Since it is not always desirable for every appliance you control to form tunnels to a particular non-Meraki peer, the Availability column allows you to control which appliances within your Organization will connect to each peer. This control is based on network tags, which are labels you can apply to your Dashboard networks.
