Hello Expert,
I would like to setup client server vpn, but would prefer to use a customize setup as instead of ADVPN (I have move control of the setup)
I notice the option to use dialup user for customize setup can I use this option Instead of the ADVPN?
I humbly request some guidance
Thank you
Regards
Solved! Go to Solution.
On the firewall with a static IP the tunnel should be set up as a dial-up, then on the firewall with the dynamic IP you can set it up as a regular site to site tunnel.

ADVPN is for Hub and Spoke VPN deployments with many firewalls and probably not what you need here.
What are you actually trying to do? You mention you want a 'client server vpn' which makes me think this is supposed to be a VPN that users connect to from their PCs, but you are also mentioning ADVPN which is a feature only used between firewalls. If you are able to outline specifically what you are trying to achieve, that would be great.

Hello Johnathan,
My humbly apologies for miscommunication but I would like to manually configure an auto discovery vpn between two firewalls . The reason for this is , I have client that will be using an IPS that dynamically assigned the ip address.
Thank you
