Insight VPN connection to BR500 questions
I am trying to setup a Client to Gateway connection. I have the BR500 configured to use DDNS. I have setup a VPN group, sent an invitation, installed software on my computer, and connected the Insigh...
I just got an email asking me if I had a solution to my issue. I do but it did not come from the forum. I had already performed all of the steps required to create the tunnel before I posted my question per my original post. Not finding a solution here I contacted support and was able to get the tunnel up and running. I posted this info to this thread as well. How do I close this thread?
By the way to be able to use Insight for the VPN connection instead of OpenVPN you need the pro/premium version of Insight.
Hi CBS, Would you please let me know the Cloud/VPN LED status? In normal case, Blue cloud LED and green VPN LED should staty on.
Below are steps to set up Insight VPN:
1. Assign BR500 to a location, currently we only support one BR500 per location. Do so for all your BR500.
2. Create a VPN group.
3. Add one or more BR500 to the VPN group. Currently, VPN group can have 1, 2 or 3 BR500, all other numbers are not supported. All BR500 in the group is fully meshed, meaning their LAN can access each other.
4. Invite VPN users to join the group, they will receive emails to acknowledge joining the group, along with VPN client program download links. Admin can invite 10 clients per BR500 to join the group, for example, if the group has 3 BR500, then admin can invite up to 30 clients to join the group.
5. VPN user lanuch client software, login using NETGEAR SSO account, user will then be presented all groups available to them and select which one to join. Once VPN connecteion is established, the client will be able to access all BR500 subnets which is also listed in VPN client software.
- My VPN is up and running.
