Routing of IP Traffic

This topic applies to both ViPNet Coordinator and ViPNet Client.

All ViPNet Coordinator [Monitor] settings depend on the necessary functionality of the coordinator and the settings specified in ViPNet Manager. If all necessary coordinator settings (IP addresses, firewall connection, addresses tunneling, using as IP addresses server) were specified in ViPNet Manager, you don't need to do any manual settings in ViPNet Coordinator, except security level settings on the coordinator network interfaces.

If the coordinator works through a firewall on the border of the local network that allows you to set static rules of address translation, you should do additional settings on this firewall.

If necessary settings were not done in ViPNet Manager, you need to do manual settings in ViPNet Coordinator.

To facilitate the communication with clients anywhere on the network, ViPNet Coordinator and ViPNet Client have the ability to switch between the following four connection types:

1. Direct connection with other nodes.
2. Connection with other ViPNet nodes through a local coordinator that provides NAT for traffic of this client.
3. Connection through a firewall/NAT system with NAT rules that can be modified.
4. Connection through a firewall/NAT system with NAT rules that cannot be modified. This connection type is used when ViPNet Client is working remotely through a GPRS/UMTS network and WiFi hot spot.

For more information on connection types, read About ViPNet Connections.
