FVS336Gv3 PPTP VPN for macOS Sierra
Hi Netgear community, One of our sites has a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit Dual WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3 which has PPTP Server enabled and setup with working users for Windows OS, there is 1 user that uses MAC OS. Since that 1 user upgraded their macOS to Sierra the option for PPTP has been removed (Apple reports the reason is for security). I have tried enabling SSLVPN in the firewall but have struggled to get that working. As a fallback, we are looking at 3rd party clients that can create the VPN using PPTP again. I've looked at some suggested clients (FlowVPN, VPN Tracker, user is trying TunnelBlick) but not getting very far. Ideally, we want a freeware that can do PPTP (unless there is a free SSLVPN option). Any suggestions or if you have got around this issue with macOS Sierra. Many thanks in advance.
FVS336Gv2 Secure Connection Failed
System Name: FVS336Gv2 Firmware Version: 4.3.3-6 After upgrading firmwear to4.3.3-6 when I try to access admin interface I get an error in all browsers I have tried "An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.1. You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information: Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number. Error code: SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL" I havew tried factory reset and updating firmwear again but same error. Is there a way to fix this or is this product a brick?
VPN use Mode Config Record fails
The FVS336G is the gateway and the LAN uses 192.168.1.x IP range. I can create the IPSEC VPN, using VPN Policy as per the instruction manual, and it works great, and so easy to configure. All my computers are Apple Mac OS X, and using IPSecuritas as the VPN client, according to Netgear KB http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24242 However, I have obvious problem when the remote client LAN also has same local IP address range of 192.168.1.x. Its not a reasonable option for me to change my business LAN ip addresses. After studying the manuals, KB etc, I see that the way to overcome this is to assign a different subnet to the incoming VPN clients and this is simply managed by changing the IPSEC VPN to use Mode Config Record. This is pretty basic stuff, On the Netgear just create a pool 192.168.169.1 to 254, and set the security the same as before, and enable Mode Config. On the client, simply change the endpoint IP adress from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.169.0/24 and go The error message in the client is: IKE [Netgear host IP] give up to get IPsec-SA due to time up to wait. Error message in Router: ERROR: Failed to get IPsec SA configuration for: 192.168.169.1/24<->192.168.43.178/32 from vpnclient.private I contacted Netgear support who then took remote control of my computes and configured IPSEC VPN straight from the manual - doiing nothing different than what I did, and get exactly the same problem. If I flip the settings back to before, on both client and host, the VPN works again. It makes no difference whether XAUTH is set to none, or user login, the problem is the same. Have tried on two different client MAC's on two different networks. Netgear also attempted to create built in OS X vpn client using Cisco IPSEC configuration and result pretty much the same. Any ideas? I thought this should be simple.Direct web traffic through ports 80 and 443 to a specific server through the FVS336G
Router acted up and was factory reset. I have a web server located in our network. When accessing the server's ip from a browser, I can see the website locally. When trying to access the web address from the outside, I get a cert error and then the netgear login page. What settings do I need to do to get traffic coming in on port 80 and 443 to this specific server's IP address?
Wireless Guest setup via FVS336G
Greetings, I have recently upgraded our Firewall device to the FVS336G when we moved over to a T1 from DSL. Our LAN side is getting DHCP via an SBS server and the FVS336G is simply being used as the Gateway (Nat) and Firewall. Now I want to connect a DLINK DIR-655 wireless device for Guests to use to get out to the internet, isolated from our network. On my old setup I did this one level above our firewall router, on the DSL modem, creating a seperate WAN-LAN network connection using one of our available static IPs from our ISP provider to get the DLINK onto the internet seperate from our Internal LAN. Is this something that I can now accomplish within the FVS336G? The only thing I read that seemed in the ballpark was to perhaps to connect the Dlink via the DMZ port as it appears to be set up by design to be isolated from the main LAN. I think then I would need deal with securing a port that is designed to be more "open" security wise. The DLINK has some amount of Firewall type protections available. Any pointers in the right/better direction would be greatly appreciated. -Patrick
