Route all traffic through IPSEC VPN

I follwed the following instructions to setup IPSEC-VPN on my mac to a FVS318N VPN firewall:   http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24242/~/mac-os-x-vpn-client-install-with-prosafe-vpn-fir...

Hello mbodbg, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

I think you might be looking for a full tunnel VPN. The instructions are for an OSX MAC, so I am thinking that you are trying to configure this on a MAC. Are you using the default OSX VPN? 

 

Looking forward to your response. 

 

Thanks,

Hello JohnRo,

 

as described in the link, Im using the IPSec VPN Client from IP Securitas. Is there a way to setup IPSec VPN to this Netgear Firewall native in OSX without installing a third party VPN client?  

 

Thanks and Regards

 

Markus

    Hi mbodbg, 

     

    Sorry for not responding quickly on this one, check if this old article will apply to your situation. In this case, it is by using the native (cisco) client for MAC OS so you won't to install a third party software. 

     

    NOTE: The NETGEAR firewall here is an FVS318v3 so it has a different UI. 

     

    I hope it helps. 

     

    Thanks,
