Setting up VPN end users
Requires at least Build24pre27.
Whilst the mesh is encrypted end-to-end, wireless end-user clients connect over an unencrypted connection to their local cell.
To provide a secure and robust authentication a VPN protocol is used. At this time, the meshAP software supports PPTP vpns, which are typical of Microsoft Windows computers and implementations exist for many other platforms as well.
VPN users work within a realm, using the realm manager you must first have created your realm and user within that realm. Select VPN as the type for the user. Note that VPN logins can only be used with VPN connections.
Make sure your local node is set to "Radius only Local" and Lock to realm of the realm you wish to utilize on the local cell.
