The IPsec page allows you to create a VPN between the selected Mako device and either another Mako device or a third party device that supports Internet Protocol Security (IPsec).

VPN Alerts

The VPN Alerts page allows you to set up the selected Mako to alert you via email when the percentage change of down tunnels in a VPN Cloud exceeds a specified threshold.

Remote Access

The Remote Access submenu contains the following pages:

Manage Access

The Manage Access page allows you to view VPN users and manage their access to networks and services on the selected Mako.

Add VPN User

The Add VPN User page allows you to add VPN users and grant them secure, remote access to networks on the selected Mako.  VPN users entered here can then be managed on the Manage Access page.

OpenVPN Settings

The OpenVPN Settings page allows you to enable and configure OpenVPN service for registered VPN users.

Service Providers

The Service Providers page allows you to grant service providers remote access to specific networks on the selected Mako for a specific amount of time using OpenVPN.
