Coordinator as Tunneling Server

If there is no need for traffic encryption within the local network or it's impossible to install ViPNet on any network devices, you can configure a coordinator to only tunnel (encrypt) the traffic between local area networks. You can connect up to five networks with each other (this number and the number of clients depends on the number of coordinators/clients you are allowed to setup by your license - the biggest ViPNet OFFICE package, ViPNet OFFICE Corporate, consists of five coordinators).

Before configuring the tunnelling itself (assuming tunnelling was not already configured in ViPNet Manager), you will need to set the connection type.

What's more, firewalls integrated with the coordinator must be adjusted because, by default, the coordinator blocks all packets coming from tunneled addresses. For each adapter of the coordinator, you should select the necessary security level and, if necessary, set filters for tunneled addresses on that network adapter.

To set tunnels, the following steps should be completed:

Network settings for tunnelled nodes. For tunnelled nodes, a local IP address of the coordinator network adapter, which is in the subnet of tunnelled addresses, must be assigned as a gateway.
Settings on coordinators
Note: If IP addresses were set for tunneled connections for all coordinators in ViPNet Manager, you don't need to do this procedure.
Settings on client
Note: If IP addresses were set for tunneled connections for all coordinators in ViPNet Manager, you don't need to do this procedure.
