FVS318N to Netgear PRO Safe Client - IPSEC

I have successfully setup an IPSEC tunnel between laptop and my FVS318N at office.

I need to access specific sites from ISP off FVS318N via the VPN (as the WAN static IP is on a customer's white list).

What Firewall/Security settings do I need to setup on the FVS318N to allow this to occur?

  • Nope, I am using Mode Config and have not made any policy traffic change policies. Some reasons I can't get the tunnel to open if I don't use Mode Config so I can't make a VPN policy in non-Mode Config.
  • I've never used mode config, but, I'm under the impression that relates to the IKE policy settings - the traffic selection is part of the VPN policy settings.

    Just the opposite. The Mode Config record replaces the VPN policy side of the configuration.
