Appendix B. 
NETGEAR VPN Configuration 
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200 
Step 2: Configure Gateway B (the Modem Router at the 
Regional Office)
This procedure assumes that the PC running the client has a dynamically assigned IP 
address.
The PC needs to have a VPN client program installed that supports IPSec (in this case study, 
the NETGEAR VPN ProSafe Client is used). Go to the NETGEAR website 
(
www.netgear.com
) for information about how to purchase the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN 
Client.
Note: 
Before installing the software, be sure to turn off any virus protection 
or firewall software you might be running on your PC.
1. 
Install the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the remote PC, and then reboot.
a.
You might need to insert your Windows CD to complete the installation.
b. 
If you do not have a modem or dial-up adapter installed in your PC, you might see 
the warning message stating “The NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Component requires at 
least one dial-up adapter be installed.” You can disregard this message.
c. 
Install the IPSec component. You might have the option to install either the VPN 
adapter or the IPSec component or both. The VPN adapter is not necessary.
d. 
The system should show the ProSafe icon (
) in the system tray after rebooting.
e. 
Double-click the system tray icon to open the Security Policy Editor.
2. 
Add a new connection.
a.
Run the NETGEAR ProSafe Security Policy Editor program, and create a VPN 
Connection. 
b. 
From the Edit menu of the Security Policy Editor, select Add > Connection. A New 
Connection listing appears in the list of policies. 
c. 
Rename the new connection to 
match the connection name you 
entered in the VPN settings of 
Gateway A. Choose connection 
names that make sense to the 
people using and administrating the 
VPN.
Note:
In this example, the connection 
name on the client side of the VPN 
tunnel is 
toGW_A
. It does not have to 
match the VPN_client connection 
name used on the gateway side of the 
VPN tunnel because connection 
names do not affect how the VPN tunnel functions.
