Dynamic VPN is included in the ClearOS Business Gold & Platinum subscriptions. You will see information on your VPN settings if the software has been enabled on your ClearOS gateway.
Dynamic VPN support not only simplifies configuration, but also improves the up-time of the connections. In order to create a connection between to systems, you need to configure both ClearOS systems.
From the webconfig tool, click on in the Dynamic VPN Connections box. You need to:
On the first connection or when an IP address changes, it may take a minute for the connection to synchronize.
If you have MultiWAN and have a preference of which interface the Dynamic VPN uses, in /etc/clearos/dynamic_vpn.conf set the VPNIF parameter e.g:
VPNIF="eth0"
Then stop IPsec with a:
service ipsec stop
The Dynamic VPN will then restart itself with the new parameter.
By default the Dynamic VPN will only route one LAN over the VPN. If you have a preference of which LAN to route, in /etc/clearos/dynamic_vpn.conf set the LANNET parameter e.g:
LANNET="192.168.0.0/24"
Then stop IPsec with a:
service ipsec stop
The Dynamic VPN will then restart itself with the new parameter.
If you want to route multiple subnets for different LAN's or VLAN's, then please raise a ticket as it has to be manually configured in the Clearcenter server.
