Certificates are used to verify the other end of an IPSec connection is a known peer, not an imposter.

This increases security: * By specifying the remote IPSec gateway's global IP address you stop other clients trying to access. * By specifying different pre-shared keys for each client you limit the damage caused by a pre-shared key on the loose. * By specifying the remote network you can stop for instance clients connected using wireless at the remote gateway to access your network. * By using cer… text/html 2010-11-22T12:31:00+02:00 http://wiki.igmanual.com/doku.php?id=vpn:easyclient&rev=1290425460&do=diff text/html 2011-01-10T13:36:17+02:00 http://wiki.igmanual.com/doku.php?id=vpn:easyserver&rev=1294662977&do=diff text/html 2010-11-22T13:10:41+02:00 http://wiki.igmanual.com/doku.php?id=vpn:server&rev=1290427841&do=diff text/html 2011-06-30T15:05:36+02:00 http://wiki.igmanual.com/doku.php?id=vpn:start&rev=1309439136&do=diff VPN stands for Virtual Private Network – networks connections that pretend they are private, but use the Internet for connection instead of expensive dedicated private cables. VPN is a concept – not a technology. There are several different technologies, standards, one can use to establish a VPN connection: PPTP, L2TP, IPSec to name a few. text/html 2010-11-22T13:11:30+02:00 http://wiki.igmanual.com/doku.php?id=vpn:tunnel&rev=1290427890&do=diff This scenario is the more “classic” IPSec use: an IPSec tunnel connecting two networks on equal terms. For example two offices connected together. For this scenario you are recommended to set up both endpoints as VPN “clients”. You must turn off the EasyClient feature on both of them.
