VPN: Client Configuration Information

 

Selecting a Connection Profile

The selections include:

  • ucsb_full_tunnel: All traffic is passed through the tunnel.
  • ucsb_full_tunnel_ipsec_tcp: (recommended) Traffic is passed like a "ucsb_full_tunnel" but through TCP port 10000 so that it can make it through a NAT firewall.
  • ucsb_full_tunnel_ipsec_udp: Traffic is passed like a "ucsb_full_tunnel" but using the UDP protocol so that it can will make it through a NAT firewall. Only recommended if you have a NAT device installed and are having trouble with the TCP profile.
  • ucsb_split_tunnel: Profiles are the same as the Full Tunnel profiles described above, except only traffic destined for a UCSB network is passed through the tunnel. Note: Use of Split Tunneling may inhibit the use of some off-campus resources that are available via an on-campus proxy.
