NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Client Status and Log Information
Note: In this section, the NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Client is referred to as
the VPN client.
The VPN console on the VPN client displays notifications and, if errors occur, error
messages that are detected on the client side. If problems occur during the VPN tunnel
establishment process, these error messages can help you to determine what the problem is.
(Misconfigration is the most common problem.)
For more information about notifications and error messages, see the NETGEAR ProSafe
VPN Client User Manual, which you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
