VPN Configuration of ProSafe VPN Lite software and NETGEAR ProSafe
Router:
This document will guide you on how to create IKE and auto-VPN policies for your ProSafe
NETGEAR Router, as well as how to configure the ProSafe VPN Lite Client in order to allow a
Virtual Private Network to be established over the Internet.
NOTE: This document assumes that your router is either receiving a public IP address on the
WAN interface or that the gateway device(s) have the correct port forwarding or DMZ configured
so that port 500 UDP is open for the router, these gateway devices must also allow VPN passthrough.
