Setting up an IPsec VPN tunnel from the client workstation
On the user's Microsoft Windows workstation:
-
Right-click on the icon found in the Windows system tray (hidden icons):
- Select Connection panel.
- Locate the first connection created in the earlier steps (Ikev1GwStandard-Ikev1Net1Tunnel in the example).
- Click on Open.
The tunnel is set up.
A green icon appears in front of it, and the button next to it now indicates Close: - When you close the connection window by clicking on the cross, the tunnel will remain open.
