Once you’ve specified a local ID, click the New Profile button to configure PepVPN.

PepVPN Profile Settings

Enable

Check this box to enable PepVPN.

Name

Enter a name to represent this profile. The name can be any combination of

alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z), underscores (_), dashes (-), and/or non-

leading/trailing spaces ( ).

Encryption

By default, VPN traffic is encrypted with 256-bit AES. If Off is selected on both sides of

a VPN connection, no encryption will be applied.

Remote ID

To allow your access point to establish a VPN connection with a specific remote peer

using a unique identifying number, enter the peer’s ID or serial number here.

Authentication

Select By Remote ID Only or Preshared Key to specify the method your access point

will use to authenticate peers. When selecting By Remote ID Only, be sure to enter a

unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field.

Pre-shared Key

This optional field becomes available when Pre-shared Key is selected as the VPN

Authentication method, as explained above. Pre-shared Key defines the pre-shared

key used for this particular VPN connection. The VPN connection's session key will be

further protected by the pre-shared key. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared

keys on each side match. Click Hide / Show Passphrase to toggle passphrase

visibility.

Remote IP

Address / Host

Names (Optional)

Optionally, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or hostname(s) here. If the

remote client uses more than one address, enter only one of them here. Multiple

hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage return.

Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.

With this field filled, your access point will initiate connection to each of the remote IP

addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty, your access

point will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of the two

VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be established.
