Client Requirements; Import The End-User Profile - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

About the Mobile VPN with IPSec client
The WatchGuard Mobile VPN with IPSec client is installed on a user's computer, whether the user travels or
works from home. The user connects with a standard Internet connection and activates the Mobile VPN client.
The Mobile VPN client then creates an encrypted tunnel to your trusted and optional networks, which are
protected by a WatchGuard Firebox. The Mobile VPN client allows you to supply remote access to your internal
networks and not compromise your security.

Client Requirements

Before you install the client, make sure you understand these requirements and recommendations.
You must configure your Firebox to work with Mobile VPN with IPsec. If you have not, see the topics that
describe how to configure your Firebox to use Mobile VPN.
You can install the Mobile VPN with IPSec client software on any computer running Windows 2000
Professional, Windows XP (32-bit), or Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit). Before you install the client
software, make sure the remote computer does not have any other IPSec mobile user VPN client
software installed. You must also uninstall any desktop firewall software (other than Microsoft firewall
software) from each remote computer.
If the client computer is running Windows XP, you must log on using an account that has administrator
rights to install the Mobile VPN client software and to import the .wgx configuration file. Administrator
rights are not required to connect after the client has been installed and configured.
If the client computer is running Windows Vista, you must log on using an account that has
administrator rights to install the Mobile VPN client software. Administrator rights are not required to
import a .wgx file or to connect after the client has been installed.
We recommend that you check to make sure all available service packs are installed before you install
the Mobile VPN client software.
WINS and DNS settings for the Mobile VPN client are obtained in the client profile you import when you
set up your Mobile VPN client.
We recommend that you do not change the configuration of any Mobile VPN client setting not
explicitly described in this documentation.

Import the end-user profile

When the computer restarts, the WatchGuard Mobile VPN Connection Monitor dialog box opens. When the
software starts for the first time after you install it, you see this message:
There is no profile for the VPN dial-up! Do you want to use the Configuration Assistant
for generating a profile now?
Click No.
To turn off the Connection Monitor auto-start functionality, select Window > AutoStart > No Autostart.
