No I am afraid I have not seen or done configurations &nbsp;for that client. The only thing i could suggest is to use the first link I provided to configure the router then try to match client options.

Hey,<br />
<br />
So I have just purchased a Netgear FVS318 and when purchased my supplier said it would work as a VPN server and mentioned nothing about specific netgear client software.<br />
<br />
As I understand, this is a industry standard IPSec connection so should work with any IPSec VPN client? I have tried with ShrewSoft but cannot get it to work.<br />
<br />
I have seen a few entries on google that it is possible but no-one mentions the exact method.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Netgear FVS318 VPN Connection

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
