What is a VPN connection

How do I use my VPN connection for the internet, and what is it?

VPN is virutal private network you can use it easily after download in your PC. It use to access the blocked website and data encryption... Jimhdk provided a wiki link where you can read more details.. Some free VPNs which you can download eaily i.e. Hotspot Shield, Cyber Ghost there are paid vpn also but as you don't know about it so better to start with free vpn.. also you can instal Chrome Browser extension (Zenmate) its great and very easy to use..

Copy from AFP share to AFP share (via VPN-Connection) - stupid?

Hi there
We set up an OS X server in a remote facility and are connecting to it over a VPN connection (Netgear Firewall).
Everything works fine, there's only one annoying issue: if I want to copy a file from a mounted AFP share (share1) to another mounted AFP share (share2) - both of them residing on the same server - it seems to me that the files are being copied first to my local client and then back to the server again - instead of being copied directly from and to the server...
Is there anything I can do about this issue or am I wrong? Is this a so called "feature" of the Finder itself?
Thanks for any suggestions and regards
Roman

Thanks for your thoughts about higher vs. lower latency networking - I totally agree. It might be a quite uncommon setup; as the server is being "housed" in a datacenter with quite tough restrictions: not only do they charge us for the power consumption, but also for the traffic being generated - which is 250 GB a month. They're providing an uplink with 10mbps (guaranteed), burstable to 100mbits.
Anyway, we're interested in keeping traffic low - hard to do if we cannot let end users do "common" tasks like moving files from one folder to another (of course, its a sharepoint - but they don't care).
What I'm looking for? Well, I think it will take hours to find out which part of the setup (AFP implementation of the server, AFP on the local machines, either of them on a particular version, the Finder in general...) actually might be responsible for this behavior. And maybe there's a "solution" (if you agree that this is actually a problem" buried somewhere

ASA 5505 VPN Connection Issue

Good morning everyone,
At my last position I was IT Director whose area of expertise was database and application development. All of the company's networking planning and maintainence I entrusted to my sysadmin, Salvadore. Back in 2004 we began implementing major changes in the network. Salvadore recommended SonicWALL firewalls. He did a fantastic job of securing our valuable server assets. Among the many improvements Salvadore established VPN access to the datacenter assets for mobile employees. What I remember especially well was the ease-of-use: start the VPN Client then RDP to a server or connect with SQL Server, in addition to connecting to all devices on my home network. It was absolutely beautiful!
Fast forward to today. I have since retired. I do a little bit of daytrading on the side for entertainment. I leased a dedicated server to run an application that runs continuously 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. I contacted Salvadore to do a security audit on the server. As expected the server was under constant assault by bots trying to hack the RDP port. Salvadore recommended a firewall. The datacenter host offered us two choices of Cisco firewalls, one of which we chose: ASA 5505.
Today I have a secure server which pleases me. The one thing that bothers me however is that I lose access to my home network devices while the VPN Client is connected. Here are the symptoms:
I cannot send an email with Outlook as I normally do by relaying off of my Internet provider's SMTP server.
I cannot connect to the TradeStation servers with my TradeStation application using login credentials that are authorized for my home network only.
I cannot access my Seagate network storage drive.
This is what I discovered:
My wireless adapter (which I use from this laptop) identifies itself as "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection" in IPCONFIG. IPv4 address is 192.168.0.5. Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1.
After I connect the VPN Client, IPCONFIG reports a new adapter: "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2". IPv4 address is 10.0.10.4. Default Gateway: 10.0.10.1.
When I launch Windows Task Manager and click on the Networking tab, I see those two adapters.
When launch IE and go to bandwidthplace.com to run a test, I see all of the network traffic going over "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2".
When I disconnect VPN and then rerun the bandwidth test, I see that all of the network traffic now goes over "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection".
This explains all of the symptoms:
My Internet Provider will only allow me to relay off of their email servers if I am connected to their network.
TradeStation refuses connection to their network because my credentials do not match my network address.
There is no Seagate network storage device on the remote server network.
My questions to the Cisco Support Community are:
Is this the best I can hope for?
Must all traffic be routed through the VPN connection?
Is there any way to route traffic destined for 10.0.*.* through VPN and everything else through the default connection?
Thank you everyone for your help. I would be happy to provide additional detailed information.

Hi Brian,
you can route traffic destined to 10.0.*.* over the VPN and keep normal internet traffic unencrypted over the default connection - this setup is known as VPN Split Tunnelling.
This doc shows how to setup the access control list and apply this to the tunnel policy.
Hope this helps

Dual Remote VPN Connection

Hello Guys
i created three different Remote VPN connections with three different networks . i can make them one but for some reasons i don't mix all.
and iam using Cisco asa 5505 with Shrew Soft VPN software , so my problem is
- i connected Shrew soft remote vpn , if i try to connected another remote vpn connection this will not accept the second connection , so please can any one give me a remote vpn connection software that accepts more than one connection

Hi,
Since you mention the ASA and the VPN I presume you are trying to connect by VPN Client to the same ASA?
Why would you want to have several VPN client connections at the same time? (Though I think that isnt even possible)
What are you trying to accomplish by these 3 different VPN Client configurations configured on the same ASA?
Isnt it just possible to configure one VPN Client connection to the ASA that would handle all the traffic of these 3 VPN Client connections?

How to Configure an Cisco 5505 for PPTP VPN connectivity

I currently have a Cisco ASA 5505(ASA Version 8.2(1), and ASDM gui version 6.2) and a Windows 2008 R2 server with one NIC card. Currently the router is connected to the interent sucessfully using the 'outside' interface(devices connected to the 'inside' interface have access to the internet and are assigned IP addresses via DHCP on the Windows 2008 Server which is also connected to the 'inside' interface) When connected with a client on the inside interface I can establish a VPN connection with the W2008 server, however when I try to connect through the internet I cannot. I have tried researching this on the internet, but have not had much luck. I know it has something to do with pptp port and allowing gre, but I am not familiar enough with configuring Cisco devices or the language they use, to configure this router. I feel as though I am missing something small but very critical. Any help or feedback you can provide regarding this issue is most appreicated, thank you.
*Edit: I have attached a network diagram of what I am trying to accomplish, and I have also attached a dump of the current running-config.

Hi,
Below is the link to the admin guide for the RV042. Chapter 9 covers the configuration of site to site VPN’s and begins on page 123.

If you need further assistance please feel free to contact Cisco Small Business for help in configuring and troubleshooting your VPN.
Thank you,

Multiple VPN connection question

I want to connect two on-premise locations to azure. The hardware in these locations only support static routing so per the documentation I can only connect on site to site tunnel to the vpn connection in azure.
Im curious what my options are, can I add two vpn's in azure and make it all work that way? Also if I wanted could I simply run a VM (windows rras, linux, etc) inside my VNET and make it a VPN server that can accept two tunnels?
thanks

Hi Chris,
Please be advised that for a Multi-Site VPN, you need to have a VPN Device that is compatible with Dynamic Routing.
You could refer the following link for details about Multi-Site VPN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn690124.aspx
And the following link for the list of Azure Compatible VPN Devices and the Routing Configurations they support:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj156075.aspx#bkmk_VPN_Devics
Also, please be advised Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines do not support Remote Access and Routing Roles.

Why can't I establish a VPN connection using my iPhone 4's personal hotspot?

Hello everybody,
I want to access our company's network with my Mac Book Pro using my iPhone 4's 3G connection, but unfortunately it simply won't work. Here is what I can do:
- I can establish a VPN connection from my MacBook Pro using my home (or some other) WiFi and access the company network.
- I can establish a VPN connection on my iPhone 4 using 3G and access the company network on my iPhone 4.
- I can use my iPhone 4's personal hotspot (sharing its 3G connection) with my MacBook Pro and surf the Web.
what I can't do is:
- establish a VPN connection on my MacBook Pro when connected to the internet via the iPhone's personal hotspot. (connection times out)
- access the company's network on my MacBook Pro using the personal hotspot, when the iPhone's VPN connection is ON.
The VPN is an encrypted PPTP connection, with username and password.
Is this a known issue, and, if so, is there any way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Diego

i'm connecting to the iPhone's hotspot using WiFi

One VPN connection at a time.

I have an issue with the Cisco 4.01 VPN client connecting more then one connection.
I have it set to connect to the remote sight using the following parameters
Group Authentication
Transparent Tunneling with IPSec over UDP (Nat / Pat)
I have also selected allow local LAN access
I am connecting to the remote network through a Sonicwall firewall to the remote Cisco device.
I have no problem getting connected to the remote network. All connection attempts work.
If I have a VPN connection connected and active the next connection that is made disconnects the first one. This is repeatable and constant. So each connection is successful but it always disconnects any session that is active from that location.
Multiple sessions are possible as long as they dont originate from the one site. In other words workers working from home do not affect workers working from the main office.
Any Ideas as to what may be causing this?

just wondering what sort of cisco device we are discussing here.
the issue maybe related to the vpn client pool.
e.g. the pool should start with x.x.x.1, not an entire subnet.

Branch Office DC Demand Dial VPN connection keeps failing

here is me issue
Our Branch Office DC is connected to Main Office DC with a Demand Dial Connection in RRAS Everything is connected fine for a little bit then its like the connection just gives out, it stays connected but i cannot ping the branch office DC with the local
IP from the Main Office or access any network shares on it. When this happens i have to disconnect the server at the remote office and wait for it to reconnect im currently baffled as there are no Error LOGS to help me along and there doesnt seem to be anything
that would be causing the issue for now until i get some answers as to what is going on i opened a command prompt on the DC here at the main office and i typed "ping 10.141.70.25 -t100" to monitor the connection more or less and when i see it timeout
i reconnect it, i also have the networking tab open in task manager to monitor the LAN and RAS (Dial-In) Interface the LAN doesnt seem too active but the RAS Interface does its got a constant network utilization of 0.28% and the Demand Dial interface
on the remote office DC has a Utilization of 0.38% (Server Just disconnected as i was typing this and the utilization on the VPN connections on both servers went through the roof) heres the troubleshooting i have tried so far
1. Rebooted both office DC`s at the same time
2. Rebooted the branch office DC alone (this helped a little because the connection is staying active longer without fail)
3. looked through all RRAS configuration on both servers to see if theres any mistakes by any other administrators (None Were Found)
4. Used wireshark to see if there was anything interfering or that would cause this to happen (Nothing found)
5. manually connected to the server in multiple ways like accessing network shares and remote management via MMC and manually making the servers replicate to see if any of that was causing issues and it wasnt
My thoughts: im starting to think it may be a switch or something causing the connection issue at the branch office because the main office has all new routers and switches and just recently got a 100.00MBPS connection but nothing was affected for a good
month so im not thinking it is the new connection or anything at the main office if theres something im overlooking here please let me know if some ipconfig /all results are needed i can provide them

VPN connection on Mac gives "PPP Server cannot be authenticated"

Hello all
I am trying to connect my mac mini to my company's VPN. On my mac mini I tried the following to connect to VPN.
- System Preferences -> Network
- Created a new network, interface: VPN, VPN type: L2TP over IPSec, service name: Office VPN
- Configuration: default, Server Address: 222.222.22.222, Account Name: user1
Authentication Settings -> User Authentication Password: (password), Machine Authentication Shared Secret: (secret)
This does connect the mac to the vpn but after an interval of 6-10 minutes I always get a "PPP server cannot be authenticated" error. I can't seem to understand what is going wrong over here. The same problem is with every mac trying to connect to this vpn. Windows PC users did not report a problem of such sort.
I checked the system logs as well. Here's what happened until the connection was disconnected.

I'm looking for much the same answer, so can't help with the big picture. However, the Firewall options are not in System Preferences, but in the Server Admin in the Dock. Click on it, click on the triangle next to your server's name, then go down to FIrewall.

VPN connection created with CMAK fails to update routing table on Windows 8.1 with error 8000ffff

When my clients connect their CMAK-created VPN, it fails to run the script to set their routing table with the following error:
Custom script (to update your routing table) failed (8000ffff)
My objective is to create a VPN connection with split tunneling - does not use the VPN connection as the client's default gateway.
All my clients are on Windows 8.1 64-bit, and are logged in with Administrative privileges
My VPN Clients are on 10.242.2.0/24, my internal network is on 10.172.16.0/24
I want only traffic for 10.172.16.0 to go via the VPN. Everything else should go via the client's internet connection
My Connection Manager Administration Kit profile, was created on Windows 2012 R2 CMAK with the following settings:
"Make this connection the client's default gateway" is UNticked on the IPv4 tab.
Define a routing table update is specified with a text file containing:
+++ Start of txt file +++
REMOVE_GATEWAY
add 10.172.16.0 mask 255.255.255.0 default metric default if default
+++ End of txt file +++
The txt file is saved in DOS/Windows format (not Unicode or UTF-8 which I've read causes problems)
I've tried everything in lower and upper case in the txt file after reading that the file might be case sensitive
The following appears on the client with logging enabled:

Where can I find out what error codes 8000ffff or -2147418113 mean?

That was it. Thanks, Steven
"By default, the dial-up entry and the VPN entry have Make this connection the default gateway selected.
Leave this default in place, and remove any gateways by using the REMOVE_GATEWAY command in the routing table update file itself."
It seems counter-intuitive to leave
Make this connection the default gateway selected, when I specifically don't want that behaviour, but leaving it selected and using REMOVE_GATEWAY works for me.

IPad2, Verizon 3G, VPN Connectivity Issues

Greetings all. I am the systems administrator for my corporation and have seen an issue that I wish to present to the community for discussion.
For those enterprise users that have an iPad2 with Verizons 3G, are you experiencing connectivity issues while trying to connect to your VPNs from the 3G network? If so, have you found any work around to allow connectivity or does it work fine for you?
Here's a summary of my issues:
We have a VPN server built on Debian Linux that has been in operation for over four years. It handles remote VPN connections from Windows, Linux, Android, OS X, iOS, and from many different devices including multiple flavors of Apple products (iMacs, Minis, MacBooks, iPads, etc.). To date, it has performed flawlessly with assorted devices connecting to it through broadband and assorted 3G networks.
Recently I purchased an iPad2 with Verizon 3G. I was able to set up the VPN connection using PPTP and connect using a Wi-Fi connection. When I turned off the Wi-Fi and attempted the same connection via Verizon 3G, it fails. I then took an associates iPad1 using AT&T 3G, set up the same connection, and was able to connect. I don't have access to an iPad2 on AT&T 3G so, I can't speak for that.
Here's the logs from the VPN server while connecting from my iPad2:

As you can see, the peer refuses to authenticate causing the link to be terminated while attempting to connect using Verizons network. This is with the same VPN connection settings on the iPad2 that just worked with WiFi connection from the same device.
Here's what I can verify with regards to 3G networks:
Older (<4) iPhones and iPad1 using AT&T can connect
Windows and OS X based laptops using Sprint 3G can connect
Android based smart phones using Sprint 3G can connect
I have not called Verizon or Apple Support yet but, that's next when I have the time. My initial conclusion is that there is something with Verizons 3G services that is causing the issue. It may be that Verizon is using some sort of data compression process that is problematic with VPN transmission. While the log shows an unsupported IPv6 protocol when connecting via Wi-Fi, it still negotiates a successful connection and I don't think that's the root cause for the disconnect. Thoughts?

Hi Alexander,
I am running in to the exact same issue (although not with Linux). Did you ever find a fix for this? I have some support tickets open with my VAR's, but found your post and thought I would check. If I find anything I will post.
Thanks
Stu

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network. This works on iPhone 4.

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network. This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3. I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network. This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office. Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

Hi,
Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

RV042 VPN Connection Questions

Hello,
I have successfully connected two RV042s to establish a VPN gateway to VPN gateway connection. I have the follow questions, please comment:
1. I would like to keep the VPN tunnel connection time indefinite. Is it sufficient by checking the "Keep-Alive" box on the VPN -> Gateway To Gateway -> Advance page? Or, I have to ping the RV042 periodically?
2. Do the "Phase 1/Phase 2 SA Life Time" (on VPN -> Gateway To Gateway page) settings have any impact on keeping the VPN connection time indefinite? What are the optimal values for them?
3. Is there an API, command, or script to replace a manual clicking on the "CONNECT" button to establish the VPN tunnel from the VPN -> Summary page? Or, is there a way to accomplish this at power up?
4. Is there a way to establish a VPN tunnel without going through login and clicking the "CONNECT" button? (Auto connect at power up?)
Thank you in advance for the comments.
Steve

Hi, Mike,
I did not do any extensive testings on the RV042s, but I did the following things to my RV042s:
1. Enabled the "Keep-Alive" feature (see Administration Guide, page 128),
2. Enabled the "Dead Peer Detection" feature and set the interval to 10 seconds. (see Administration Guide, page 129).
Make sure you save the changes.
These features are available below the "Advanced" button under the VPN selection. I hope this help.
You can power down the router or disconnect the network to verify the result. The VPN tunnel should be re-established and stay connected.
