SSL VPN-Client on Vista (or Win7)

Microsaft · #1 (**permalink**) 06-12-2009, 07:58 AM

When I run the Client as "normal" User I can connect, but the Client fails
to add any IP-Routes (permission denied), so I've to start the Client with
"administrator" privileges.

Any way to avoid this?

I know to set the option "run always as admin", but then there's the popup
about "trusted application" - also boring

(and disable of UAC is NOT planned)

AFAIK this is the only way, so i'm guessing you'll have to put up with one of the most annoying things ever invented by ms...

You can check out this page for disabling UAC only on Astaro's VPN Client:

On Windows 7 when I use the SSL VPN-Client to connect to my office it knocks my system offline. After I disconnect the VPN I still connect see my Astaro Gateway can't even ping it. It almost looks like the ASG locks me out. If I go around the Astaro ASG (Use another gateway - Verizon FiOS) I don't have this problem. It's almost like the ASG doesn't like the SSL traffic and locks itself out. I can ping other computers on the same network but cannot ping the ASG. After several minutes it eventually comes back.

Hey, Lan_Shark, welcome to the User BB.

When you connect to the VPN defined on the external IP of the Astaro, the public IP is no longer available to you. You must then connect to webadmin on the internal IP. I assume you mean that it comes back several minutes after you disconnect; it should come back immediately if you "repair" your local connection right after you disconnect from the VPN.
