Re: Netgear FVS318 VPN connection

["Peter Dow" <maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Keith,

Thanks!  I'd already found the 2nd link, and the PDF document is the Netgear
instructions with comments added by Darren, a responder in the forum the 2nd
link points to (Tek Tips).  I'll check those out.

In the meantime, I discovered a severe drawback to all this for my
situation.  I have a VPN Client I'm using to connect to another customer,
and it complains that the IPSEC Policy Agent service is not DISABLED on
startup, and that I have to stop the service, change its startup to
DISABLED, then reboot.  That's a major problem for me, having to reboot just
to switch between customers.

Looks like I should be looking at SSH Sentinel or some other VPN client that
won't require the service and will coexist with the Extranet VPN client I'm
already using.

Thanks for your help!
