Setting up an IPsec VPN tunnel from the client workstation

On the user's Microsoft Windows workstation:

  1. Right-click on the icon found in the Windows system tray (hidden icons):
  2. Select Connection panel.
  3. Locate the first connection created in the earlier steps (Ikev2GwStandard-Ikev2Net1Tunnel in the example).
  4. 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:
  5. When you close the connection window by clicking on the cross, the tunnel will remain open.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 to open a second tunnel.
