Setting up a VPN between two sites

Setting up a VPN between two sites for a small business to create a single network; although the interface will be different for every router, the functions are roughly the same.

 

 

 

 

 

1 – To build a VPN you need to know the IP address of the VPN terminator and the remote site, but unless the small business is paying for business-grade DSL they probably won’t have a static public IP address. Use a Dynamic DNS service to create a fully-qualified domain name instead.

2 – To create a site-to-site IPSec connection, first enable IPSec, then provide the fully-qualified domain name you set up in the DDNS tab. Now click Add to create a VPN tunnel.

3 – Set the Tunnel Type to IPSec, name the tunnel and fill in the dynamic DNS alias and the details of the local network to be connected to the VPN (here 192.168.1.0). Make sure both ends of the tunnel are set to use the same IKE encryption key methods, authentication (MD5 here) and encryption (Triple DES here).

4 – For a connection between two offices, make the VPN the default route so that all traffic from the LAN to the remote resources passes over it. Configure both ends of the VPN tunnel and enable it.

IT EXPERT TOP TIP

If you're supporting en users who need to transfer files by FTP occasionally, explaining how to use FTP every time can get frustrating. Map an FTP site as a custom network location and they can do it through the familiar Explorer window. If you only have a couple of machines you can choose Tools >Map Network Drive… in Explorer and click the link 'Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures' to open a wizard that creates a network location. Select 'Choose a custom network location', type in the FTP address and fill in the user name and password. You can also create mapped drives and network places on the Environment tab of the user's Active Directory object - but if you have a lot of users to set up, put it in the logon script for the user profile under Active Directory Users and Computers.
