Manage Virtual Private Networks

A remote access VPN allows individual users to connect to a network from a remote location using a computer or other supported device that is connected to the internet. This allows mobile workers to connect from their home networks or a public Wi-Fi network, for example.

How to Manage Remote Access VPNs in Secure Access

Manage the settings and profiles of your remote access VPNs that are registered with Secure Access:

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) adds an extra layer of flexibility and precision when you create VPN profiles and access rules, providing enhanced security and simplifying network management. For more information, see FQDNs for Network Connections.
Cisco Secure Access protects the DNS traffic in your organization. Optionally, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service updates the mappings of domain names to IP addresses to provide accurate IP addresses to DNS clients. For more information, see Manage DNS and DDNS Servers.
Manage your organization's regions and IP address pools that are used to secure the request and response traffic of your remote access VPN profiles. For more information, see Manage Regions and IP Pools.
A remote access VPN machine tunnel ensures connectivity to the corporate network whenever the client system is powered up, not just when a VPN connection is established by the end user. For more information, see Manage Machine Tunnels.
(Optional) Configure a RADIUS group and add servers to the group to appy Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) methods to a VPN profile configurations. For more information, see Add a RADIUS Group.
