Hi,
Been struggling with this for several days and have even traded some emails with Joel. Decided to post my experience here in the hope someone could help or at least others would know of my problems with the BEFSX41.
Let me describe my setup.
Vaporsec (VPN client) side is:
-Powerbook G3 with OSX 10.2.4
-Installed Vaporsec 0.9
-IP address of powerbook is 192.168.168.139
-Netgear RT314 Router for network (set to pass IPSec traffic…confirmed by using SSH VPN client on a PC). IP address for router is 192.168.168.253
-Router WAN IP address is 64.217.11.235
Vaporsec has been set up with the following:
– Connection name: office
– Remote IPSec device: 24.243.11.168 (this is the WAN IP address on the BEFSX41)
– Internal network: 192.168.1.1/24 (also tried 192.168.1.0/24)
– Password: MyPassword
On the remote VPN server side….the side with the BEFSX41 router the settings are:
– This tunnel: enabled
– Tunnel name: SentinelUser01
– Local Secure Group: Subnet IP:192.168.1.1 (also tried 192.168.1.0) and Subnet: 255.255.255.0
– Remote secure group: any
– Remote secure gateway: any
– Encryption: 3des
– Authentication: SHA
– Key management: Auto. (IKE), PFS checked, Preshared key: MyPassword, Key lifetime: 3000
Advanced Settings
– Operation mode: Main mode
Proposal 1: Encryption:3des, Authentication: SHA, Group: 768 bit, Key lifetime:3000
Proposal 2: Encryption:3des, Authentication: SHA, Group: 768 bit, Key lifetime:3000
-Other options: only check Anti-replay
With the following setup, whenever I launch Vaporsec and click Vaporize I dont seem to get a tunnel at the the BEFSX41 side. Sometimes I see activity on the BEFSX41 log but it does not seem to be reproducible.
Any comments or help is appreicated. I would also like to hear from anyone else who has attempted using a BEFSX41 router for this purpose. Maybe it is not compatible and I just need to give up.
😥 😳
I just bought this exact model a month ago and I can’t get it to work either. I haven’t had any problems with the firewall or router part, but it seems as if the VPN tunnel never gets established. I’ve tried the setup suggested here and it still doesn’t work.
I will talk to my IT department at work and see if I can get any other ideas from them…
🙁
