Using the MUVPN client to Secure a Wireless
Network
The VPNforce upgrade and the MUVPN client can also be used to
prevent wireless "drive by" hacking. This configuration requires an
Ethernet connection from the wireless access point (WAP) to the
OPT port on the SOHO 6.
Follow these instructions to complete the configuration:
1 Identify the Ethernet cable that connects your DSL/cable
modem to the WAN port of your WAP.
2 Disconnect this cable from the WAN port of your WAP.
3 Connect this cable to the WAN port of the SOHO 6.
4 Connect one end of a straight-through Ethernet cable to the
OPT port of the SOHO 6.
5 Connect the other end of the straight-through Ethernet cable to
one of the LAN ports of your WAP.
6 Configure your WAP as a bridge. To do so, disable the DHCP
server on the LAN ports of the appliance. Refer to the user
documentation of your WAP for additional information.
7 Connect an Ethernet cable from a computer to the SOHO 6 to
access the configuration pages.
8 Configure the MUVPN clients upgrade on the SOHO 6 and
install and configure the MUVPN client on your computers.
