Kerio VPN Client is a tool for connecting to a vpn network.
running on the Kerio WinRoute Firewall gateway. Not so long ago a client appeared under Linux.
I offer a short guide to installing and using the Kerio VPN Client for Debian / Ubuntu Linux


Preparing to install
')
32-bit Debian / Ubuntu distributions are supported:
Debian 5.0, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10 and higher.

Before you start the installation with the Kerio VPN Client, make sure that
The 'debconf' and 'OpenSSL packages' are installed on your system.

# apt-get install debconf openssl

Installation

To install the Kerio VPN Client, run the following commands:

# dpkg -i kerio-kvc _ ### _ i386.deb

You can also download the deb package from the official website www.kerio.ru/ru/firewall/download

Configuration

Kerio VPN Client for Linux supports only one VPN connection at a time.
During the installation of the package, the configuration wizard starts automatically.
The wizard prompts you for the server name / address, username, password, and offers automatic server discovery,
obtaining a certificate (for an authentication server).
In addition, it can be entered manually.

If you want to change the configuration later, run the wizard again with the following command:

# dpkg-reconfigure kerio-kvc

Alternatively, edit the configuration file:

/etc/kerio-kvc.conf

After any changes, you will need to restart the service:

# /etc/init.d/kerio-kvc reload

Start / stop

Kerio VPN Client will start automatically after installation.
and restart after reconfiguration.
You can start / stop it manually by calling the command:

# /etc/init.d/kerio-kvc {start | stop | restart}

Troubleshooting

Kerio VPN Client creates log files in the directory

/ var / log / kerio-kvc directory:

init.log - information about starting or stopping the daemon

error.log - information on critical errors

debug.log - detailed information and connection status

Well, the VPN network is configured, I personally tested it, it works stably.
