CHAPTER 1

WHAT IS VPN? (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK)

When we think about Private Network, we usually think about the Local Area Network (LAN). Generally speaking, a LAN is a group of computers link together physically within a single location via network cables. Having a LAN allows us to efficiently, privately and securely share information and resources between computers that are linked together. We can share files, share printer, access customers database, emailing and many more. But the moment we leave the office with our notebook or are at home, all the resources we usually to share easily either became unavailable or too insecure to be access over the Internet. This is where VPN becomes very useful. It allows access to the LAN remotely (at home or at hotspots location) privately, securely and affordably. A VPN is essentially a private network that uses existing telecommunications infrastructures (regular phone lines, T1 lines, DSL, cable lines, and so on). Privacy is achieved through the use of a tunnelling protocol and security procedures. VPN technology enables company offices or individuals in different locations to securely access a central network without having to dial directly into the company network.

VPNNow! User Manual

VPN is ideal for: Companies who need secure inter-office networking. Home or Mobile workers, who require a secure environment to connect to the office from remote locations. Administrator who wants to manage servers across different locations. Home users who wish to set up a secure peer-to-peer connection between remote PCs. Benefits of VPN 1. Convenience of accessing company network without physical connections. 2. Cost Savings especially for inter-office connections because access via the Internet infrastructure is much more cost-effective compare to having a physical leased-line link to different sites. VPN use cryptographic technology to provide data confidentiality and integrity for the data in transit. This improves security as at least 128bit encryption is use for secure data transfer. Capability to access Windows Terminal Services behind the firewall within the network.

2.1 VPNNow!
IPSEC architecture with support for the latest high-level data encryption Advance Encryption Standard (AES). The current version supports AES 192 bit. Max 500 concurrent VPN connections Support connections for Gateway to Gateway or Road Warrior to Gateway Uses RSA 1024 PKI for setting up Key Exchanges Resource list is definable to restrict total access by VPN clients Supports Windows NT4, 2000, XP & 2003

VPNNow! uses the basic IPSEC for securing the VPN tunnels. IPSEC is industry best practice for protecting your corporate VPN today. However, the disadvantage of IPSEC is that there are too many options and flexibility. This results in code bloat that is detrimental for normal functional standard. For example, some VPN solutions have various supports for different encryption standard when only one strong encryption is required and various layers of encryption support over a single packet whereby each layer will induce significant payload overhead resulting in slower traffic output.

Page 8 of 36

VPNNow! User Manual

Having a published port number that is fixed for IKE in IPSEC also produce a security weakness in giving hackers the foreknowledge of the port and the ability to launch a possible DOS attack. VPNNow! avoids all these complexity by concentrating on the core principles used in IPSEC that made it a secure implementation. By using ESP with built in authentication, 192-bit AES encryption as standard and a different port with custom IKE, VPNNow! is not only secure but faster in performance. VPNNow! is 100% software that runs on Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP and Win 2003 based platform. With the availability of better hardware standard for personal computers, software based solutions works better and faster with your investment in time.

2.2 Integrations
VPNNow! When integrate together with ProxyNow! and FirewallNow! provide organizations with a convenient, productive, cost-effective and secure Internet infrastructure.

3.1 CONFIGURING VPNNOW! SERVER

Configuring the VPNNow! server involves a number of steps: 1. Creating public & private keys for the server and VPN clients. During this 2. Configuring the PCs in your network, which are accessible to VPN users from outside. These PCs are called Participants.

3.1.1

Creating Public & Private keys for the server

1. 2. 3. After installing the VPNNow! icon will appear in system tray. Right click on the icon located at the system tray and go to Settings. Do not click on Start VPNNow! button yet. Starting of the VPNNow! is actually done last, I.E. when your VPN server is properly configured and ready to accept for incoming connections. If your server is not configured correctly, when you try to start the VPN it will fail and it will go back to the state before you started it. Note: VPNNow! is not installed as a service. It will be required to click on the Start button to start the VPNNow! Server Engine The following dialog will appear for the first time. Key in the VPN server private LAN IP/ internal IP address. Note: This dialog will not appear again if you have keyed in your private LAN IP.

4.

Page 11 of 36

VPNNOW! Manual

5.

Then, the Configure page will be loaded.

Note: When the page is loaded for the first time, it will take some time. 6. 7. Specify servers name. For example, ABCVPNServer. Then specify a name for private key and the public key under the RSA Key section. For example, ServerHQ. Note: Please be aware that the name specified here will determine the name of the servers public key and private key. For example, serverhq.pub for public key name and serverhq.pri for private key name. Also note that it will ask if you want to backup the previous keys with the existing keys. If this is a new configuration, you do not have to back up the previous settings. 8. Key in the contact IP address, which is the servers public IP address. If you are using Dynamic IP address, please be sure to key in your domain name instead. Note: Make sure that the DNS server is pointed to your Dynamic DNS on both the server and client. Otherwise the server and client will not be able to communicate with each other. 9. Then key in the internal IP address range of your network into IP Address. For example, if your organization is using the IP range of 192.168.1.X (i.e. with subnet of 255.255.255.0), then you should type in 192.168.1.0. And if you are using the IP range of 192.168.X.X, you should type in 192.168.0.0. 10. Then select your subnet mask. For example, 255.255.255.0. Page 12 of 36

VPNNow! User Manual

11. Make sure that the IKE checkbox is not ticked since we are configuring the server. 12. Click Apply to finish your settings for the VPNNow! server. 13. Do not attempt to start the VPNNow! server just yet. You still need to create the client keys and configure your Participants.

3.1.2

Creating Public and Private Keys for VPN clients

Now that youve configured the public and private keys for the server, you need to do the same for the clients. There are 2 categories of clients, which will be connecting to your server: a. Road warriors: These are individual users (normally using notebooks) who are trying to connect back to your LAN to access network resources (e.g. emails, file servers etc). Normally they will be connecting using a dial-up line (e.g. from hotel rooms) but as long as they have Internet connection they will be able to VPN back to your network. They will need to install the VPNNow! client software to establish the connection and will need all various setting, public and private keys which will be issued by the VPNNow! administrator (which presumably is you) b. Gateways: These are special servers, which are also running the VPNNow! Server software. Gateways are used to construct a Wide Area Network (WAN), which consists of several LANs interconnected by VPN links. Gateway is a device that enables data to flow between different networks (forming an internet). The steps in creating public and private keys for road warriors and gateways are the same. The only difference is in the settings you specify for the clients LAN IP range and subnet. 1. Click on the Configure button on the left on the VPNNow! console. 2. On the tree control on the right, you should already have defined a server. Select that server and then right-click on it. Choose the Add menu to add a new client.

Page 13 of 36

VPNNOW! Manual

3.

The Client Configuration console will appear. Fill in the fields as follow: a. Identification A name to identify the client, e.g. RoadWarriorPaul or ParisBranchGateway (make sure there are not spaces in between) b. LAN IP Range LAN IP range cannot be changed for Roadwarriors:. By default its 0.0.0.0. If the client is a gateway, it should be the IP range used by the remote LAN in which the gateway is located. For example, if the remote LAN is using the IP range of 192.168.1.X (i.e. with subnet of 255.255.255.0), then you should type in 192.168.1.0. And if you are using the IP range of 192.168.X.X, you should type in 192.168.0.0. Make sure that the LAN IP range specified here is unique and different from the server LAN IP range and other gateway clients LAN IP ranges. c. Subnet Mask This should be 0.0.0.0 if the client is a road warrior. If the client is a gateway, then the subnet of the gateways internal LAN (see (b) above) d. UDP Tunneling only needs to be enabled if you meet the situation whereby Roadwarrior/Gateway is behind router e. Contact/IP This should be 0.0.0.0 for both road warriors and gateways since both do not require to receive incoming VPN connections f. RSA Key Key in a unique key name for this client. Click OK and VPNNow will proceed by generating a private & public key for this client.

Add roadwarrior:

Add client gateway

3.1.4

Configuring Participants
You will also need to specify which PCs (participants) in your network are accessible by remote VPN clients. In most cases you would not want to give complete access to the network to these remote clients. Instead for security reasons, their network access might be limited to those network resources that they really needed (e.g. mail server, file server etc) 1. On VPNNow! console click on Participants button on the left hand side of the console.

2. Key in an IP address you wish to add to the participants list. Then click on Add Single IP button to add single IP address to the participants list. 3. If you have a range of participants, key it under Add Range section. Then click on Add Range button to add the range. 4. The participants list will be listed at the bottom of the window.

3.1.5

Monitoring Participants Status

1. The window at the bottom will show the connectivity status of the participants. Overtime, the server will check the status of the participants. If the yellow exclamation mark icon appears on the right of the participant. It means that the participant PCs port is not active at the moment. If the red cross mark icon appears on the right of the participant, it means that the VPN server is having problem in resolving the participant MAC address, thus, it is either need to be recreated and need to call refresh MAC address which the option is available when right clicking on it.
