Section 3 - Configuration

With the xAuth feature, the VPN client (or initiator)

needs to provide additional user information to

the remote VPN server (or VPN gateway) for

extended authentication. Otherwise, the VPN

server will reject the connection request from VPN

clients due to an unknown user, even though the

pre-shared key is correct. This function is suitable

for remote mobile VPN clients. Not only can you

configure a VPN rule with a pre-shared key for all

remote users, you can also designate that a user

is only permitted to establish a VPN connection

with the VPN server.

Disables Extended Authentication (xAuth).

Select this checkbox if the device behaves as

a VPN client, and will send user information to

remote VPN server for extended authentication.

You must input a correct user name and password

to pass authentication. Please note that remote

VPN servers without xAuth will reject your connect

request if you have activated this feature.

Select this checkbox if the router should behave as a VPN server, and will verify the legality of user information

from the VPN client. The user information that is provided by a VPN client needs to match the user information

that is in the user database of the VPN server. Click the

XAUTH account button to edit the local user database.

Please note that only VPN clients with xAuth can establish VPN connection with the device if this checkbox

has been selected.
