Local Secure Group and Remote Secure Group
A Local Secure Group is a computer(s) on your network that can access the tunnel. A Remote Secure Group is a
computer (s) on the remote end of the tunnel that can access the tunnel. Under Local Secure Group and Remote
Secure Group, you may choose one of three options: Subnet, IP Address, and IP Range. Under Remote Secure
Group, you have two additional options: Host and Any.
Subnet. If you select Subnet (which is also the default), this will allow all computers on the local subnet to
access the tunnel. When using the Subnet setting, the default values of 0 should remain in the last fields of
the IP and Mask settings.
IP Address. If you select IP Address, only the computer with the specific IP Address that you enter will be
able to access the tunnel.
IP Range. If you select IP Range, it will be a combination of Subnet and IP Address. You can specify a range
of IP Addresses within the Subnet which will have access to the tunnel.
The next to options are for Remote Secure Groups only.
Host. If you select Host for the Remote Secure Group, then the Remote Secure Group will be the same as the
Remote Security Gateway setting: IP Address, FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), or Any.
Any. If you select Any for the Remote Security Group, the local VPN Router will accept a request from any IP
address. This setting should be chosen when the other endpoint is using DHCP or PPPoE on the Internet side.
Remote Security Gateway
The Remote Security Gateway is the VPN device, such as a second VPN Router, on the remote end of the VPN
tunnel. Under Remote Security Gateway, you have three options: IP Address, FQDN, and Any. In this section, you
can also set the levels and types of encryption and authentication.
IP Address. If you select IP Address, enter the IP Address of the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel.
The remote VPN device can be another VPN Router, a VPN Server, or a computer with VPN client software that
supports IPSec. The IP Address may either be static (permanent) or dynamic (changing), depending on the
settings of the remote VPN device. Make sure that you have entered the IP Address correctly, or the
connection cannot be made. Remember, this is NOT the IP Address of the local VPN Router, but the IP Address
of the remote VPN Router or device with which you wish to communicate.
FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). If you select FQDN, enter the FQDN of the VPN device at the other end of
the tunnel. The remote VPN device can be another VPN Router, a VPN Server, or a computer with VPN client
software that supports IPSec. The FQDN is the host name and domain name for a specific computer on the
Internet, for example, vpn.myvpnserver.com.
