15.17 Telecommuter VPN/IPSec Examples

The following examples show how multiple telecommuters can make VPN connections to a single ZyWALL
at headquarters from remote IPSec routers that use dynamic WAN IP addresses.

15.17.1

Telecommuters Sharing One VPN Rule Example

Multiple telecommuters can use one VPN rule to simultaneously access a ZyWALL at headquarters. They
must all use the same IPSec parameters (including the pre-shared key) but the local IP addresses (or ranges of
addresses) cannot overlap. See the following table and figure for an example.

Having everyone use the same pre-shared key may create a vulnerability. If the pre-shared key is
compromised, all of the VPN connections using that VPN rule are at risk. A recommended alternative is to
use a different VPN rule for each telecommuter and identify them by unique IDs (see section 15.17.2 for an
example)
