IPsec Remote Access VPN Example Using IKEv1 with Pre- Shared Keys

This article describes how to set up Mobile IPsec in AZTCO-FW software with a Pre-Shared Key, and how to configure the Shrew Soft VPN Client to match. The Shrew Soft VPN client is freely available for Windows, Linux and BSD at http://shrew.net.

Note:     The current best practice is to use IKEv2 for IPsec Remote Access on modern clients. See IPsec Remote Access VPN Example Using IKEv2 with EAP-MSCHAPv2 for details.

Prerequisites:

  • Make sure the LAN is using the firewall as its default gateway and that it is working properly.
    • Make sure the client has a functioning Internet connection. If either condition is not met, the tunnel will not work.
