BR200 IPSec Configuraton - possible to assign 0.0.0.0/0 as remote subnet/mask?
HI,
Is there any way to assign 0.0.0.0 as the remote subnet when setting up IPSec VPN? When attempting to enter these values into the config, I get an error message "Enter a valid remote gateway". and am not able to save the configuration. I am able to use this configuration on other brand devices (Meraki, Palo Alto Network) and was hoping to be able to do this on a Netgear device as well.
Note: I listed BR500 as the Model for this post because there was no option to select a BR200.

Welcome to the community! :)
It is not possible to assign 0.0.0.0 as the remote subnet when setting up IPSec VPN. May we know the reason why you need to assign 0.0.0.0 as the remote subnet when setting up IPSec VPN?

Thanks, Dane. We set the remote subnet to 0.0.0.0/0 to route all traffic over the IPSec tunnel to the security appliance at our virtual colocation. We use a combination of Meraki and Palo Alto Networks firewalls to do this and I was hoping to be able to use Netgear devices to do this as well. Thanks for asking!
