Hello world of little greeny robots!
Your voice has been listened, therefore I’m posting working instructions about how to make a client-to-site VPN with a McAfee Next Generation Firewall using a Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android version 4.
The firewall configuration is similar to the one used in my previous post about iOS VPN, so you can take the gateway configuration from there as well as the instructions to generate digital certificates.
Concerning the client side configuration, here we go!
This post is the fruit of quite big experience I’ve done to build what mentioned in the title.
The choice of the NGFW is because Stonesoft is the company where I happened to be working for the last decade… actually for the last 12 years ð
Since iOS devices have been announced, this question has been more and more recurring… and I even wrote a kind of a HowTo at one point. Which has been extended by a good friend of mine and published on a blog… which does not exist anymore.
The problem is that HowTo was not completely detailed… and it generated lots of questions and comment, to clarify various aspects of the topic.
Hence I’ve decided to avoid that knowledge to go lost, publishing this post on something that I control (well, sort of ð ).
Enriching it with bit more details and side information.
Still reading? Still wanting to have your iThing connected in VPN with the mighty Stonesoft NGFW? Allrite! Read on!
