Watchguard IPSec VPN Instructions

Key Files are located at \\CESBR-DC03\IPSec VPN Data\. Inside this location, there are installers for multiple OS' (Windows 32-Bit, Windows 64-Bit, and Mac) and the configuration files.

Any user that will need to connect to the IPSec VPN will need to be in the "IPSec_Users" and the "Authpoint Users" Group in Active Directory.

From the client device, navigate to the file share indicated and copy down the applicable installer and all 4 configuration files.
Place these files in any directory, as long as the Installer and Configs are in the same folder. Best practice is to add a folder to the user C: Drive called "IPSec VPN" for these files.
Run the installer by double clicking on the application from step 1. Can accept all defaults for the installer. Once complete restart client device. Before restart, you may notice errors with regards to network connectivity - this is expected as the IPSec software injects its drivers. Restart will resolve.
Upon restart, application will auto-start.
--May receive a prompt with regards to licensing. If asked, hit "Yes" to start the trail. We will apply the license later that will resolve this issue.
Upon start, application will indicate there is no profile, and ask if you want to create one. Select "Yes".
