Configuring a VPN client for a dlink dfl800 firewall

Hi,
I'm kinda new to this firewall so I'm feeling lost. Is there any sort
of tutorial or guide to configure a D-link VPN client to have access
to a dlink dfl800 firewall? I found something for the client but if I
don't know what to do on the firewall, it doesn't help me much..
Thanks in advance to anybody that will provide me with some useful
info

PS: I don't have to use certificates

And why have you not looked on the D-Link website, their support pages
are filled with how to setup VPN connections.

pages


I DID read the proper chapters in the manuals and some info on
websites...and right because I didn't find anything specific matching
that client and that firewall, I asked in this forum. But it seems
that someone prefers to waste time giving very "classy" answers
instead of writing something useful. Fine.

No, as each implementation is different, there would have to be someone
with a DFL-800 to direct you specifically to how to resolve your issue.

You don't need to get snotty, like someone that doesn't want help.

As it stands, I have a DFL-700, in fact, about 15 of them, running
around the country and use the PPTP VPN function on all of them. It was
painless to setup and the directions on the D-Link website made it easy
- if you have some basic networking skills/understanding - if not, then
you should find someone to come onsite and help you.

With your response tone I'm not lending you a hand.

What kind of VPN do you want to configure? IPSec? L2TP/PPTP or ???

What did you try so far?

Did you get any errors? If yes, what were the error messages?

The information you provided were not sufficient to enable someone to help
you because you only said: I've a DLINK box and want to configure a VPN ...

Yes. That is probably better. If you don't want to give details on
what you did etc. we cannot help you. You did not mention that you
have read the manual before nor did you exactly post which web sites
you have checked or tried. "something" is a little bit vague, isn't
it?

You don't exactly post which VPN client you use. There are various
versions available.

The rest of your OP sounded very much like those posts of other
people which don't care to even read the manual and just cry help once
the solution does not pop up as first result in your web search...

The dlink support pages has something on "How do I configure the
DS-601/DS-605 VPN software client to connect to the DFL-210/800/1600?"
which sounds to me very much like the thing you want to do. But if it
does not work you must give more details. What would be the benefit of
pointing you again to this article if you tried it before but don't
mention it nor mention what did go wrong?

Basic instructions are always in the manual and it is futile to repeat
all that here. Read the manual. Try it. It contains instructions how
to set up IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP. If you failed post what you have
tried exactly, what settings you have used, what exact error messages
you saw, messages in the logs etc.

Hi,
thanks for your post. I need to check again all the settings (IPSec
connection): I have no time to do it during these days, as that's an
extra thing I have to fix and I'm kinda busy. Last Sunday I followed
some steps in the manual and set the firewall in a way similar to
what is written in the Dlink support site but I still had some trouble
with the IKE in the first phase...so I may have set something wrong as
I was bored and tired. That's why I need to deal with it by myself.
Thanks again,
bye
