PART 1: Setting up your VPN routerHardware: Cisco RV220w, Current Firmware Version 1.0.5.8

Assumptions:

You donthave any other VPN Setup configuration (at least not a conflicting VPN Setup Configuration)

Your router LAN is set to 192.168.1.XXX

We are using IPSec with XAUTH (preshared key and user authentication)

Navigate to this screen and configure it as shown:

At this point you are ready to create your users, navigate to this menu:

Click on Add, enter the username and password, make sure you select XAUTH, click on save

Repeat for every user.

And the RV220W is ready at this point.

NOTE:

Virtual network adapters are known for conflicting with each other. If you are having trouble

connecting, check for other VPN installations as well as other virtual network adapters. - For

instance, VMware workstation network adapters -

Client:

Uncheck Enable Dead Peer Detection, other defaults are fine.

Name Resolution:

DNS: Enter your DNS server(s) since the RV220W won't provide it (I am using 55.55.55.55 just as an example)

WINS: Disable it

Authentication:

This MUST match what you entered in the RV220W configuration:

Select the authentication method as Mutual PSK + XAuth

And enter the same shared key you set in the RV220W (YourSharedKey in this example)


8/13

Phase 1: Defaults are OK

Phase 2:Set as in screenshot.

Policy:

We need to make some changes here: Uncheck both checkboxes. Add a remote network resource to the same subnet you

have in the RV220W (in this example 1921.68.1.0 / 255.255.255.0)


9/13

At this point you are ready to connect:

And Shrew Soft VPN Client should give you a clean connection.

PART 3: MacOS Client, Setting up your IPSecuritas VPN Client:We are using the IPSecuritas VPN client.

You can download it from http://www.lobotomo.com/products/IPSecuritas/

Make sure you download the right version. For Lion and more recent use 4.0rc.

Download it; install it and run it.

General: Instead of 44.44.44.44 enter your router WAN ip address

Or, if you have a whatever.com pointing to 44.44.44.44 you can use it as well.

Add a remote network side entry to the same subnet you have in the RV220W (in this example 1921.68.1.0 / 24)
