Settings on Client

To configure a client that needs tunneled connections with other nodes:

From the ViPNet Client [Monitor] interface, double-click the name of coordinator that will provide tunneled connection with unprotected node.
The Access Rules window will appear.
Click the Tunnel tab.
Tick the Use IP addresses for tunneling check box.
Click the Add button. The IP address dialog box appears:
Type the IP addresses that have to be tunneled.
Click OK. The real IP address and a corresponding virtual address appear in the Access rule window.
To avoid IP address conflicts, click the Use virtual IP addresses check box. Listed virtual IP addresses automatically appear in bold.
If a client is sometimes used in remote mode and needs to make a connection with tunneled workstations in its own (original) network, these local addresses must be added in the list of tunneled addresses. In this situation, you should leave the Do not use the coordinator for tunneling local IP addresses check box ticked. Otherwise, a connection between the client and tunneled nodes will be impossible, if they are both in the local network at the same time.
We also recommend you tick the Do not use the coordinator for tunneling the following IP addresses check box, if the encryption of information is not required for separate IP addresses and you can set these addresses.
After you have finished all settings, click Apply and OK.

The settings described in this topic must be made on the client for each coordinator of each local network with which the client wants to have tunneled connections.

If necessary, you can specify the DNS names for tunneled computers. To specify DNS names, use the Access Rule window (IP addresses tab) for the coordinator. The first place in the list must belong to the DNS name registered on DNS server for the IP addresses of the coordinator.
