Navigation the user interface
BiGuard VPN Client is fully autonomous and can start and stop tunnels without user
intervention, depending on traffic to certain destinations. However it requires a VPN
configuration.
The VPN Client configuration is defined in a VPN configuration file. The software user interface
allows creating, modifying, saving, exporting or importing the VPN configurations together with
security elements (e.g. Preshared key).
The user interface is made of several elements:
1. System Tray Icon

VPN Client software shows an icon in this system tray that indicates whether a tunnel is opened
or not, using color code.
VPN Client application color code is the following:
Blue icon: no VPN tunnel is established
Green icon: at least one VPN tunnel is opened

can start with 3 different modes:
Start VPN Client software before MS Windows logon: this mode can be used for secure
remote login
Start VPN Client software after MS Windows logon
Don't start VPN Client when I start MS Windows: VPN Client is launched by user or from a
script ("manual" mode)
Miscellaneous
Disable detection of interface disconnection: allows the VPN Client maintain tunnels opened
while the network interface disconnects momentarely but very often. This type of behavior
occurs when the interface used to open tunnels is unstable such as WiFi, GPRS and all 3G
interfaces.

Configuration Wizard
Four easy step Wizard
BiGuard VPN client provides a Configuration Wizard that allows the creation of VPN
configuration in four easy steps. This Configuration Wizard is designed for remote computers
that need to get connected to a corporate LAN through a VPN gateway.
Let take the following example:
The remote computer has a dynamically provided public IP address.
It tries to connect the Corporate LAN behind a VPN gateway that has a DNS address
"gateway.mydomain.com".
The Corporate LAN address is 192.168.1.xxx. e.g. the remote computer want to reach a server
with the IP address: 192.168.1.100.
For configuring this connection, open the wizard window by selecting menu "Configuration >
Wizard".

Chapter 4: VPN Configuration
15
Step 1 of 4
You need to specify the following information:
The public (network side) address of the remote gateway Address (In IP or Domain name). (e.g.
specify gateway.mydomain.com)
The Preshared-key you will use for this tunnel (this Preshared-key must be the same in the
gateway).
Step 2 of 4
You must specify the following information:
The IP address of your remote gateway LAN Network address (e.g. specify 192.168.1.0).
Billion BiGuard VPN Client
Chapter 4: VPN Configuration
16
Step 3 of 4
You need to input this VPN Client IP address that will be used to identify the client in the VPN
connection (e.g. specify 192.100.205.101).
Step 4 of 4
The fourth step summaries your new VPN configuration. Other parameters may be further
configured directly via the main interface (e.g.virtual IP address, etc..).
Be sure that each client must use different VPN Client IP Address.

VPN Tunnel Configuration
How to create a VPN Tunnel?
To create a VPN tunnel from the main window (without using the Configuration Wizard), you
must follow the following steps:
1. Right-click on “Configuration’ in the tree list window and select “New Phase 1”
2. Configure Authentication Phase (Phase 1)
3. Right-click on the “new Phase 1” in the tree control and select “Add Phase 2”
4. Configure IPSec Phase (Phase 2)
5. Once the parameters are set, click on "Save & Apply" to take into account the new
configuration. That way the IKE service will run with the new parameters
6. Click on "Open Tunnel" for establishing the IPSec VPN tunnel (only in "IPSec Configuration"
window)
Please refer to Phase 1 and Phase 2 for settings descriptions.
Multiple Authentication or IPSec Configuration Phase
Several Authentication Phases can be configured. Therefore, one computer can establish IPSec
VPN connections with several gateways or other computers (peer to peer).
Similarly, several IPSec Configurations (Phase 2) can be created for a same Authentication
