Yu can use this dcument as a quick reference t create and cnfigure a prtected netwrk, withut reading the full versin f the user's guide. Preparing fr the Setup Befre ViPNet VPN setup, think ver yur prtected netwrk structure and check netwrk cnnectin settings n the cmputer that will functin as a crdinatr. T d this: Decide n which cmputer yu are ging t deply the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin. Yu chse either a client, r a crdinatr. Install the ViPNet Netwrk Manager prgram n the ViPNet netwrk administratr s wrkstatin. On a cmputer with installed ViPNet Netwrk Manager, deply a client (by installing ViPNet Client) r a crdinatr (by installing ViPNet Crdinatr). ViPNet Client r ViPNet Crdinatr allws yu t send keys and sftware updates frm ViPNet Netwrk Manager t ViPNet hsts, while the ViPNet Supplement t ViPNet VPN Dcumentatin. Quick Start 3
Netwrk Manager prgram is intended fr netwrk administering and cannt interact with ther hsts. Decide which prgram will be used t deply a crdinatr: ViPNet Crdinatr fr Windws, ViPNet Crdinatr HW r ViPNet Crdinatr VA. Make sure that yur ViPNet VPN license allws yu t add the chsen crdinatr type. Yu can deply ViPNet Crdinatr HW nly n the special hardware platfrm. ViPNet Crdinatr VA is an image f the ViPNet sftware that is intended fr functining in a virtual envirnment. Decide n which cmputer the crdinatr will be deplyed. Fr example, yu may install the crdinatr n a cmputer where private data are stred, and yu need t prvide prtected access t these data; r it may be any ther cmputer r server. A crdinatr must be always accessible frm all clients, in ther wrds, the cmputer with installed ViPNet Crdinatr must be always switched n and cnnected t the netwrk. Yu may establish prtected cnnectin t a crdinatr (as well as t a client) ver the RDP prtcl, r access public resurces n a crdinatr r a client. After yu have decided n which cmputer yu will deply the crdinatr, make sure that this cmputer has a static private IP address. On the DSL ruter, behind which the future crdinatr is lcated, cnfigure a prt frwarding rule fr the crdinatr's IP address. Set frwarding f UDP traffic frm prt 55777 t prt 55777. If the cmputer, n which yu are ging t install ViPNet Crdinatr, des nt have a static public IP address, cnfigure the Dynamic DNS service n the crrespnding ruter. T d this, yu shuld create an accunt n sme dynamic DNS service web site, fr example, www.dyndns.cm. Deplying the ViPNet Netwrk Administratr's Wrkstatin When yu are deplying a ViPNet netwrk based n the ViPNet VPN sftware, yu shuld deply the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin first, by installing ViPNet Netwrk Manager, then ViPNet Client r ViPNet Crdinatr n the netwrk administratr's cmputer. Yu will use the ViPNet Netwrk Manager prgram fr netwrk administering, while the ViPNet Client r ViPNet Crdinatr prgram is required t link the administratr's wrkstatin with ther ViPNet hsts. T install the sftware n the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin: 1 Run the ViPNet VPN setup prgram and install the ViPNet Netwrk Manager sftware n the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin. Nte: T get yur link fr setup file dwnlad, yu shuld fill in a frm accessible by the fllwing link: http://inftecs.ru/dwnlads/cdwnlad_dem.php?i_id_file=6742 Supplement t ViPNet VPN Dcumentatin.

2 Run the ViPNet VPN setup prgram again and install the ViPNet Client r ViPNet Crdinatr prgram n the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin. On the first page f the ViPNet VPN setup prgram, select the I d have a key set (.dst file) fr this ViPNet Client (Crdinatr) check bx. Yu can create a *.dst file later in ViPNet Netwrk Manager. After the ViPNet Client r ViPNet Crdinatr sftware installatin is cmpleted, the ViPNet sftware is installed n yur cmputer. But the prgram cannt be laded because the keys are nt installed. D yu want t install the keys nw? message will be displayed. 3 Start ViPNet Netwrk Manager and register it. 4 Upn cmpleting the registratin, create the administratr passwrd. This passwrd is required nly fr the ViPNet Netwrk Manager sftware and cannt be saved. 5 The Create ViPNet Netwrk Wizard will be started. When yu start the wizard, yu have the fllwing ptins: Fllw the wizard instructins and create the basic netwrk structure. Clse the wizard and create a netwrk later. The minimum netwrk structure will be created (ne crdinatr and ne client, n which ViPNet Netwrk Manager is installed) and the main ViPNet Netwrk Manager windw will be displayed. 6 If yu cntinue wrking with the ViPNet Netwrk Creatin wizard, n the Lcatin fr the ViPNet Administratr's Wrkstatin page, chse the netwrk hst type, n which yu want t deply the ViPNet administratr's wrkstatin. 7 If necessary, n the Autmatic netwrk structure creatin page, rename crdinatrs and clients. Fllw the instructins in Preparing fr the Setup (n page 3): specify the crdinatr's lcal IP address, DNS names (dyndns), r static public IP address. 8 On the last page f the wizard, clear the Create key sets upn cmpleting ViPNet Netwrk Creatin Wizard check bx. We recmmend yu t create key sets after yu have made the required settings in ViPNet Netwrk Manager. Figure 1. The last page f the ViPNet Netwrk Creatin Wizard Upn yu have cmpleted the wizard, ViPNet Netwrk Manager will be launched. The ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin is marked with the icn r in ViPNet Netwrk Manager. 9 Decide if user passwrds shuld be saved t the registry (fr example, t make the lg prcedure quicker and easier). T d this, in the main ViPNet Netwrk Manager windw, in the navigatin pane, click the required ViPNet client, click the Keys tab, and select r clear the Allw t save passwrd check bx. 10 Upn the cnfiguratin, save key sets fr the ViPNet hsts.

Upn the key sets have been created, in Windws Explrer, the flder will be pened, where key sets, user passwrds f ViPNet hsts have been saved t. Key sets files have a.dst extensin and are stred in flders named after the crrespnding ViPNet hsts. ViPNet user passwrds are saved as a list in the ViPNet.txt file. Yu can view the ViPNet hst administratr's passwrd, which is valid fr all the hsts n yur ViPNet netwrk, in the My Netwrk sectin, n the Passwrds tab. 11 Open the flder created fr the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin and duble-click the *.dst file t install the keys. 12 Open the ViPNet.txt file cntaining ViPNet user passwrds. Cpy the user passwrd fr the ViPNet netwrk administratr's wrkstatin's hst. 13 Start ViPNet Mnitr: If yu use Windws 7 r an earlier versin f the Micrsft Windws perating system, n the Start menu, chse All Prgrams > ViPNet > ViPNet Client (Crdinatr) > Mnitr If yu use the Windws 8 perating system, n the Start screen, pen the Apps list and chse ViPNet > Mnitr.
