VPN setup on FVS336Gv3 for Windows 10 Client

[nelsonurdaneta]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a VPN (IPsec/L2TP) at home to access different services:

QuickBooks

Music Server

File Server

So far I've tried configuring:

IKE Policy

VPN Policy

L2TP Server

I tried testing my ports using www.youtestsignal.com to access ports 500 / 4500 / 1701 but none of them are open.

Do you guys have a step by step guide to get this done?

This is my environment:

Firewall: FVS336Gv3 Firmware: 4.3.5-3

Public 50.x.x.x on WAN1 of my FVS336G

FVS336Gv3 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0

Access Point 192.168.1.2 / 255.255.255.0

I want to set it up if possible so my VPN Terminals are in the subnet 192.168.11.1

Thanks,

Nelson.

Hi nelsonurdaneta,

As far as I know, using the built-in Windows VPN Client won't work for client-to-box VPN.  

In setting a client-to-box VPN between the FVS336Gv3 and a remote PC/client, kindly use the articles below as your guide:

ProSAFE VPN Client: Client to Box Configuration

Configure an IPv4 IPSec VPN Connection between a Gateway and a Client - read pages 8-15 

You can download the ProSAFE VPN Professional Client software v6.40.004 here.  It has a 30-day free trial period.  After the 30-day trial period expires, you will need to purchase a VPN Client license key from NETGEAR Authorized Resellers here. 

Be reminded that the local IP address of the Remote PC or laptop where the ProSAFE VPN Professional Client software is installed should be different from the local subnet of the FVS336Gv3.  Based from the information you have provided, the LAN IP address of the FVS336Gv3 is 192.168.1.1, so that Remote PC or laptop where the VPN Client software is installed should be 10.10.10.9 or 172.16.30.5.
