Note:
When you are using FQDNs, if the Dynamic DNS service is slow to
update its servers when your DHCP WAN address changes, the
VPN tunnel will fail because the FQDNs do not resolve to your new
address. If you have the option to configure the update interval, set it
to an appropriately short time.

Optional step: Collect the information that you need to configure the VPN client. You can
print the following table to help you keep track of this information.
Use the NETGEAR VPN Client Wizard to Create a Secure Connection
The VPN client lets you set up the VPN connection manually (see
Manually Create a Secure
Connection Using the NETGEAR VPN Client
on page 206) or with the integrated
Configuration Wizard, which is the easier and preferred method. The Configuration Wizard
configures the default settings and provides basic interoperability so that the VPN client can
easily communicate with the wireless VPN firewall (or third-party VPN devices). The
Configuration Wizard does not let you enter the local and remote IDs, so you need to
manually enter this information.

Description
Advanced features
Aggressive Mode
Select this check box to enable aggressive mode as the mode of negotiation
with the wireless VPN firewall.
NAT-T
Select
Automatic
from the drop-down list to enable the VPN client and
wireless VPN firewall to negotiate NAT-T.
Local and Remote ID
Local ID
As the type of ID, select
DNS
from the Local ID drop-down list because you
specified FQDN in the wireless VPN firewall configuration.
As the value of the ID, enter
remote.com
as the local ID for the VPN client.
Note:
The remote ID on the wireless VPN firewall is the local ID on the VPN
client. It might be less confusing to configure an FQDN such as client.com as
the remote ID on the wireless VPN firewall and then enter client.com as the
local ID on the VPN client.
Remote ID
As the type of ID, select
DNS
from the Remote ID drop-down list because
you specified an FQDN in the wireless VPN firewall configuration.
As the value of the ID, enter
local.com
as the remote ID for the wireless
VPN firewall.
Note:
The local ID on the wireless VPN firewall is the remote ID on the VPN
client. It might be less confusing to configure an FQDN such as router.com
as the local ID on the wireless VPN firewall and then enter router.com as the
remote ID on the VPN client.
