IPSec VPN server (Transport mode)
IPSec Transport mode is used for end‐to‐end communications, NAT traversal is not supported
with the transport mode. So if two CooVox IPPBX's are connected via IPSec transport mode, IPSec
only encrypts the communication service ports, unlike Tunnel mode which encrypts the whole
LAN subnet.
Navigate to web menu Network Settings‐>VPN Server. Check the IPSec radio button.
