Configuring Pptp Mobile User Vpn; Enabling Pptp - Watchguard Firebox X20E User Manual

Configuring PPTP Mobile User VPN

I am sometimes prompted for a password when I am browsing the
company network.
Because of a Windows networking limitation, remote user VPN products can allow access only to a sin-
gle network domain. If your company has more than one network connected together, you can browse
only your own domain. If you try to connect to other domains, a password prompt appears. Unfortu-
nately, even if you give the correct information, you cannot get access to these other networks.
It takes a very long time to shut down the computer after using the IPSec
MUVPN client.
If you get access to a mapped network drive during an MUVPN session, the Windows operating system
does not shut down until it gets a signal from the network.
I lost the connection to my ISP, and now I cannot use the company
network.
If your Internet connection is interrupted, the connection to the MUVPN tunnel could stop. Use the
procedure to close the tunnel. Reconnect to the Internet, and then restart the MUVPN client.
Configuring PPTP Mobile User VPN
You can use Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to make secure VPN tunnels. You can configure
the Firebox X Edge e-Series as a PPTP VPN endpoint and allow up to 10 users to make simultaneous
secure connections to the Edge and get access to the networks protected by the Edge.
Before remote users can connect to the Firebox with PPTP, you must:
Configure the Edge with the first of 10 available sequential IP addresses on the trusted or
•
optional network that are currently not in use. The Edge must be able to give these IP addresses
to remote users when they try to connect with PPTP.
Enable PPTP connections in each remote user's Firewall user profile. When a user makes a PPTP
•
connection to the Edge, the user is then given full access to the trusted or optional network.

Enabling PPTP
