equinux VPN Tracker 6.4.6 - Manual (Page 23)

Configure VPN Tracker
Once you have your VPN gateway set up, enter the settings in VPN Tracker. For
your connection, use a custom device profile to have access to all settings.
Once you’ve added your connection, begin entering your settings. Refer to
→ Getting Connected to see where required settings are located. Also check
the
→ Setting Reference if you are unsure about a specific setting.
Please note:
‣ The identifiers are swapped in VPN Tracker. What is local from the VPN
gateway’s perspective, is remote from VPN Tracker’s perspective, and vice
versa. You can set the remote identifier to “Don’t verify remote identifier” so
you don’t have to deal with it for now.
‣ If you were able to select the algorithms and Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups
suggested earlier, you will not have to modify any setting on the Advanced
tab. However, if the suggested settings were not available on your device,
make sure to customize the phase 1 and 2 settings so they match what is
configured on your VPN gateway.

(XAUTH) user name and password.
