Title: IPSec Tunnel Settings no alias possible
Post by: 0xDEADC0DE on August 27, 2017, 07:03:22 pm

Why I cannot use an network alias in tunnel settings for the remote network?
I can enter an address manually or a network. But the alias would be much easier and better.
Is there a reason for it? Could you improve it?

Btw: Thanks for a great product

I have the alias working for over 20 tunnels and it's working fine
I am not sure I understand your issue but can you please explain more ?

How can you do this? The alias can only be configured for Port Forwading and Firewall rules.
For VPN, I can only enter the network or address manually.

Apologie i havent noticed you were talking about IPSec.
i am using the Alias using OPENVPN which is noticed is faster than IPSEC.
