PFS Group
This specifies the PFS group to use with PFS.
The PFS groups supported by NetDefendOS are:
1 modp 768-bit
2 modp 1024-bit
5 modp 1536-bit
Security increases as the PFS group bits grow larger, as does
the time taken for the exchanges.
IPsec DH Group
This is a Diffie-Hellman group much like the one for IKE.
However, this one is used solely for PFS.
IPsec Encryption
The encryption algorithm to use on the protected traffic.
This is not needed when AH is used, or when ESP is used
without encryption.
The algorithms supported by D-Link Firewall VPNs are:
AES
Blowfish
Twofish
Cast128
3DES
DES
IPsec Authentication
This
specifies
the
authentication
algorithm
used
on
the
protected traffic.
This is not used when ESP is used without authentication,
although
it
is
not
recommended
to
use
ESP
without
authentication.
The algorithms supported by D-Link Firewall VPNs are:
SHA1
MD5
IPsec Lifetime
This is the lifetime of the VPN connection. It is specified in
both time (seconds) and data amount (kilobytes). Whenever
either of these values is exceeded, a re-key will be initiated,
providing new IPsec encryption and authentication session
keys. If the VPN connection has not been used during the last
re-key
period,
the
connection
will
be
terminated,
and
re-opened from scratch when the connection is needed again.
This value must be set lower than the IKE lifetime.

Manual Keying
The "simplest" way of configuring a VPN is by using a method called "manual keying". This is a
