FVS318 and SSH Sentinel
----------
Hello,

I am currently trying to establish a VPN connection between my "FVS318 VPN Firewall" router and the VPN Client called SSH Sentinel. The soft was recommended to me by Netgear's hotline.

But I have some problems that Netgear's hotline is unable to solve : during the diagnostic, I can't exceed the "IKE phase-2". An error ocurs during this step : "Exchanging IPSec proposal FAILED!".:(:(:(

Ne tgear's hotline sent me a document explaining the way to configure such a connection : I followed the instructions, but it's not working.:'(

I have another VPN connection between this router and a second FVS318 and it works.

Could you help me or give me some explanations concerning this problem ?

Please, excuse me for my english I'm french,

Thanks for answers :),

Julien

I am sorry that I can not assist with this problem, as I am not familiar with the SSH Sentinel client.
Nonetheless, I am want to set up a tunnel between two FVS318 firewall/routers. Can you be so kind to share the configuration steps with me.

My French is horrible, but merci beaucoup in advance.

Thanks

Hi !
Establishing a VPN link between two FVS318 is not so difficult : I've succeeded a few weeks ago.

The only thing you'll have to set up is the "VPN settings" menu.

Select one empty connection and then click on "edit".

Connection name : this field has no influence on the connection. that's only a way to recongnize easily each link. So choose what you want ! ;-)

Local & Remote IPSec Identifier : IDEM. They allow you to recognize each peer of the connection but have no influence.
Nevertheles s, choose the same ID for the peers on each side of the connection.

Remote WAN IP : on each side you must write the IP address of the remote Internet connection (you should have a public IP address on each side no ?).

Secure association : Main mode

Perfect Forward Secrecy : Enabled

Encryption protocol : choose 3DES, it's most secured than DES.

PreShared Key : you can choose whatever you want there, but the string must be identical on the two routers.

Key life : default

IKE life Time : default

NETBIOS Enable : check the box

Then click on "Apply".

If you follow this steps it should works
correctly.
Do n't forget to set the gateway (the router) as the default route in order to be able to join the remote LAN (pasing through the VPN link).

Sorry if there is some grammatical mistakes.... ;-)

Tell me if it works !! :-)

I am having the same problem getting SSH Sentinel to work with the FVS318.
Tried for around 20 hours to get that two communicating correctly. Both can see eachother, but get several differet errors that prevent me from getting access to the network behind the firewall.
Would be forever in someones debt if they could post an example of a working config between the two.

Thanks!
