Creating a Custom Connection

If your VPN gateway is not listed in VPN Tracker, and it is not
known to behave similarly to another device on the list, you
can create a custom connection.

While you could also modify a connection based on an
existing device profile, creating a custom connection is the
preferred option for unknown devices. Device profiles
intentionally hide options known to be unsupported by the
corresponding device. Only custom connections will give you
full access to all options available in VPN Tracker.

We will assume that the gateway has been configured already.
Please note that all settings configured in VPN Tracker have to
match the corresponding settings on the gateway.

Note

Technical details on all options mentioned in this

section can be found in “IPSec Explained“.

To create a custom connection:
‣ Select “File > New Connection“

or
‣ Press ⌘-N

or
‣ Click the ”+” button in VPN Tracker’s main window

‣ In the device chooser dialog, check “Create custom

connection”
