Manual key

Configure a manual key tunnel to create an IPSec VPN tunnel between the FortiGate
unit and a remote VPN peer that uses a manual key. The FortiGate unit must be
configured to use the same encryption and authentication algorithms used by the
remote peer.

A manual key VPN tunnel consists of a name for the tunnel, the IP address of the VPN
gateway or client at the opposite end of the tunnel, selection of the encryption and
authentication algorithms, and the keys in hexadecimal format.

To configure a manual key VPN

Go to

VPN > IPSEC > Manual Key

and add a VPN tunnel.

Add the source address, destination address, and a firewall policy.

DH Group

Select one Diffie-Hellman group (1, 2, or 5) to propose for Phase 2 of the

IPSec VPN connection. The remote peer must be configured to use the same

asymmetric key.

Keylife

Select either Seconds or KBytes for the keylife, or select Both.
The keylife causes the IPSec key to expire after a specified amount of time,

after a specified number of kbytes of data have been processed by the VPN

tunnel, or both. If you select both, the key does not expire until both the time

has passed and the number of kbytes have been processed.
When the key expires, a new key is generated without interrupting service. P2

proposal keylife can be from 120 to 172800 seconds or from 5120 to

2147483648 kbytes.

Autokey Keep
Alive

Enable autokey keep alive to keep the VPN connection open even if no data is

being transferred.

DHCP-IPSec

If the tunnel will service remote dialup clients that broadcast a DHCP request

when connecting to the tunnel, select

DHCP-IPSec

. The FortiGate unit can

relay the request to an external DHCP server. For more information, see

“System DHCP” on page 73

Internet
browsing

Select the Interface through which remote VPN users can connect to the

Internet. The internet browsing interface becomes the virtual source interface

from which VPN users can connect through the firewall to browse the Internet.
The Internet browsing interface could be port 1 and VPN users would be able

to browse the Internet using the same firewall policies as users on the network

connected to port 1 (for example, port 1

port 2 policies, where port 1 is

connected to the internal network and port 2 is connected to the Internet).
For more information, see

“Internet browsing through a VPN tunnel” on

page 285

Quick Mode
Identities

Use selectors from policy. Select this option for policy-based VPNs. A policy-

based VPN uses an encrypt policy to select which VPN tunnel to use for the

connection. In this configuration, the VPN tunnel is referenced directly from

the encrypt policy.
You must select this option if both VPN peers are FortiGate units.
Use wildcard selectors. Select this option for routing-based VPNs. A routing-

based VPN uses routing information to select which VPN tunnel to use for the

connection. In this configuration, the tunnel is referenced indirectly by a route

that points to a tunnel interface.
You must select this option if the remote VPN peer is a non-FortiGate unit that

has been configured to operate in tunnel interface mode.
