Hello,
I'm confused because i'm trying to set up a simple VPN (client to Gateway), but i can't !
An SSL VPN or an IPSEC VPN, whatever...
The firmware of the RV042 is up to date, and i'm trying QuickVPN as a client vpn (also updated...)
My configuration details :
I'm in : 192.168.2.14 /24
My RV042 : 192.168.2.250 /24
And the VPN intend to connect me to : 192.168.4.x
I'm for the while in test phases... that's why i'm using private IP...
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
so far, nothing complicated.. ok?
Then i create my user for the test :

The user is created, and activated...
For the test, i've disabled the firewall (router + windows 7).
An dnow, when i lunch the client QuickVPN :
Then when i lunch it :
>>>> Connecting...
>>>> Activating Policy...
>>>> Verifying Network...
>>>> The remote Gateway is not responding. Do You want to wait ? [NO]
>>>> Disconecting from server....
So that means, after activating the policy, i'm logged into the router (Status user : active). But when he verify the network... i'm disconnected !!
There are the log of the RV042 :
Dec 18 12:57:50 2012 | VPN Log | added connection description (qknips1) |
Dec 18 12:57:50 2012 | VPN Log | listening for IKE messages |
Dec 18 12:57:50 2012 | VPN Log | forgetting secrets |
Dec 18 12:57:50 2012 | VPN Log | loading secrets from '/etc/ipsec.d/ipsec.secrets' |
Dec 18 12:57:57 2012 | VPN Log | (qknips1): deleting connection |
So i'm logged during 7 seconds... Why ?
Can anyone help me ??
When i try with the integrated Windows client VPN, logs are just more filled...^^
HELP ! \o/
Thanks (and sorry for my bad english^^)

Good morning
Thanks for using our forum
Hi Skip my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community. IĀ“ve seen your post, and I can see you are using Windows 7 and you disable your firewall in order to test your connection. We have to modify some configuration in the computer and the router in order to resolve your problem.
Computer
As you are using Windows 7, you have to turning on the Windows firewall and create 2 rules, also make sure the Ipsec communication is allowed, you can do this follow these steps:
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=2&app=search&vw=1&articleid=2922
Router:
Go firewall > Basic settings and
Disable: Block WAN Request
Enable:Remote Management
Go VPN > VPN Passthrough and make sure everything is enable.
I hope you find this answer useful, if it was satisfactory for you, please mark the question as Answered. Please rate post you consider useful.

Ok, thanks.
I tried this solution, and I finally had a succesfull connection !
But i'm still don't understanding why I failed without any firewall, but i've succeed with an activated firewall and 1 rule !!
No firewall means no blocking.. isn't right ?
Well... the SSL VPN is working, thanks !
But, and for the IPSec VPN ? Have you any tips for me ?
Which VPN client should i use ? The integrated microsoft vpn can work ? I read somewhere that it didn't support pre-shared keys !...
Thanks !

Hi Skip, IĀ“m glad you fixed your problem, about the Ipsec VPN, you can set up a āClient to Gateway VPNā (and yes it supports pre-shared key), you can check this document it will help you to configure it
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=2&app=search&vw=1&articleid=624
Also if you want a configure a Microsoft VPN ( PPTP VPN), you can follow this instructions
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=2&app=search&vw=1&articleid=570
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=2&app=search&vw=1&articleid=2957
I recommend you use any of the VPN, since all work smoothly
Cisco has a very useful tool called GuideMe, is made for small business products, and your device is in this category, you can use this address for accessing the tool: http://sbkb.cisco.com/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?alt1=&pid=4&eroute=Super , is very easy to use, just complete the 3 spaces on this way:
Select a category: (Select the device type on request), e.g. Routers
Enter model: (Type the model on request), e.g. RV042
Question: (Type what you want to know about the device), e.g. VPN
And it'll be showing all the information you need about what you wrote.
I hope you find this answer useful, if it was satisfactory for you, please mark the question as Answered. Please rate post you consider useful.

Hello Skip,
I am not sure what settings you have to set up in the client to gateway section for the built in IPsec client for windows but I do know if you use the PPTP server option in the router and create a VPN client on your windows it will connect with a PPTP connection. That has been the only connection I have been able to get working with the built in VPN client with windows. The problem is I don't know what settings to use for phase 1 and phase 2.
Also just a FYI, you don't have to set up client to gateway to set up QVPN.. all you have to do is create a username and password and your good to go. Since QVPN is a utility it use built in windows services.. so on Windows vista/7 when you disable your windows firewall it will turn off the IKE and IPsec services built in windows.
Hope this information helps!
Thanks,
