The client VPN service uses the L2TP tunneling protocol, and can be deployed without any additional software on PCs, Macs, iOS devices, and Android devices, since all of these operating systems natively support L2TP VPN connections.
Owing to changes in the PCI-DSS Standard version 3.2.1, some auditors are now enforcing requirements for stronger encryption than the Meraki Client VPN default settings provide. Please contact Meraki Support if you need these values adjusted, but please be aware that some client devices may not support these more stringent requirements (AES128 encryption with DH group 14 - Required by PCI-DSS 3.2.1).
How To Configure The Barracuda Vpn Client For Mac Os X
To enable client VPN, choose Enabled from the Client VPN server pull-down menu on the Security Appliance > Configure > Client VPN page. The following client VPN options can be configured:
Meraki client VPN uses the password authentication protocol (PAP) to transmit and authenticate credentials. PAP authentication is always transmitted inside an IPsec tunnel between the client device and the MX security appliance using strong encryption. User credentials are never transmitted in clear text over the WAN or the LAN. An attacker sniffing on the network will never see user credentials because PAP is the inner authentication mechanism used inside the encrypted IPsec tunnel.
Use this option to authenticate users on a RADIUS server. Click Add a RADIUS server to configure the server(s) to use. Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the port to be used for RADIUS communication, and the shared secret for the RADIUS server.
When using Meraki cloud authentication, Systems Manager Sentry VPN security can be configured If your dashboard organization contains one or more MDM networks. Systems Manager Sentry VPN security allows for devices enrolled in Systems Manager to receive the configuration to connect to the client VPN through the Systems Manager profile on the device.
To enable Systems Manager Sentry VPN security, choose "Enabled" from the client VPN server pull-down menu on the Security Appliance > Configure > Client VPN page. You can configure the following options:
After configuring the client VPN and users are starting to connect, it may be useful to see how many and which client devices are connected to your network. To see connected client VPN devices, navigate to Network-wide > Clients and click the drop-down icon on the Search clients... search bar. Make sure to select Client VPN and either Online, Offline, or both.
It is possible to manually apply group policies to clients connected via client VPN. Group Policy applied to a client VPN user is associated with the username and not the device. Different devices that connect to client VPN with the same username will receive the same group policy. For more help on assigning or removing group policies applied to a client, refer to the Creating and Applying Group Policies document.
If further guidance is required, please feel free to visit the FAQs page built into the client VPN page (Security Appliance > Configure > Client VPN > FAQs). The FAQs contain answers and links (KB articles and dashboard pages) to the most common client VPN inquiries. Below is a snippet of the FAQs page.
Dove in and upgraded two Macs today to beta 1. Unfortunately, it appears L2TP VPN is broken or something changed in the way it works. I can longer get a connection to any VPN concentrator I used previously. I tested with Cisco Anyconnect SSL VPN client and can connect to the same concentrators (as they're configured to accept L2TP or SSL clients).

I have a new MacBook Pro with M1 chip and the newest Big Sur software. I wanted to use the MacBook for work, that is why I wanted to install our VPN client to use our network. We use Barracuda VPN. I already installed it on some other MacBooks, where it always worked. In the installation process it says that a system extension is blocked and that I have to allow it. But when I install the client and go to "System Preferences..." > "Security & Privary", in the "General" tab there should be the blocked extension with a button to allow it. It does not stand in there. With the other MacBooks I installed (all "older" variants), I did not have this problem and it was easily possible, to allow it.
If I try to connect, it says that opening the TAP device failed. It looks like, there is no such directory as where the client wants to connect. In the configuration of the client the default TAP device is at /dev/tun0, but that folder does not exist. Could that be a problem caused by the fact I cannot allow the extension or is it maybe a problem of the installer?
thanks for your help. Against what I wrote on here, it looks to be the case that the barracuda application is not yet programmed to work on M1 chip. So I have to wait until they release a working version.
In Fireware v12.5.3 or higher, if the client automatically detects that an upgrade is available, but you do not have administrator privileges, a message appears that tells you to contact your system administrator for assistance. If a minor version update is available, you can select the Don't show this message again check box. This check box does not appear if a major version update is available.
This log message indicates that the client cannot make an HTTPS connection to the IP address specified in the Server text box in the Mobile VPN with SSL client. Confirm that the policy configuration on the Firebox allows connections from Any-External to Firebox, and that no other policy handles traffic from the IP addresses you configured as the virtual IP address pool for Mobile VPN with SSL.
If you specify a TCP port other than 443 as the Configuration Channel in the Mobile VPN with SSL settings, mobile users must specify the port number as part of the address in the Server text box in the Mobile VPN with SSL client. For example, if the port is TCP 444, specify 203.0.113.2:444 on the client.
When the Firebox receives an HTTPS request, it could forward that request to an internal server if your configuration includes an HTTPS policy with a static NAT action. If this occurs for traffic from the Mobile VPN with SSL client, the client fails to connect and an authentication failure message appears:
To resolve this issue, add a First Run policy for outbound VPN connections from network clients to the external VPN endpoint. For example, on the cloud-managed Firebox, create a First Run policy for TCP 443 traffic to only the public IP address configured on the locally-managed Firebox for SSL VPN connections.
If the VPN client can connect to a resource by IP address but not by name, you must provide the client with the IP addresses of valid DNS or WINS servers that can resolve the destination name. When the client connects and receives a virtual IP address from the Firebox, it also receives the IP addresses for the DNS and WINS servers configured globally on the Firebox or in the Mobile VPN with SSL configuration.
If users cannot use a single-part host name to connect to internal network resources, but can use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to connect, this indicates that the DNS suffix is not defined on the client. When you configure Mobile VPN with SSL in Fireware v12.2.1 or higher, you can select to:
A client without a DNS suffix assigned must use the entire DNS name to resolve the name to an IP address. For example, if your terminal server has a DNS name of RDP.example.net, users cannot type the address RDP to connect with their terminal server clients. Users must also type the DNS suffix example.net.
If client traffic through the Mobile VPN with SSL connection is denied as unhandled, the problem is almost always related to group membership. By default, Mobile VPN with SSL requires that a user be a member of a group called SSLVPN-Users. If you use a RADIUS, SecurID, or VASCO server, the group membership must be returned as the Filter-ID attribute.
For users with Mobile VPN with SSL client v11.9.x and lower, your configuration must include fewer than 24 routes to resources for the Mobile VPN with SSL client. If the total number of networks or allowed resources exceeds 24, the VPN client cannot route traffic to all of the allowed resources. For users with Mobile VPN with SSL client v11.9.x and lower, your Mobile VPN with SSL configuration might include too many routes if:
When you enable Mobile VPN with SSL, the Allow SSLVPN-Users policy is automatically created to allow traffic from the clients to internal or external network resources. If you disable or remove this policy, clients cannot send traffic to internal or external networks.
If your VPN clients can connect to some but not all parts of the network, or traffic otherwise fails when log messages show traffic is allowed, this can indicate a routing problem. Confirm that each of these items is true:
One of the great benefits deploying Sophos UTM in your home network is the ability to configure a VPN with incredible ease. For those that are unfamiliar, a VPN (stands for Virtual Private Network) enables you to access your home network from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. 2ff7e9595c
