| Verizon DSL Westell 327W VPN configuration answer
Today I got SecureClient VPN running out to work across a wireless network through a Verizon DSL Westell 327W by piecing together a couple of recommendations and one obscure reference on the web. As I could find ZERO explicit documentation on this subject I'm posting it here.
Log in the the 327W
Click on configuration (login may come after you click on configuration)
Click on services
If you see an IPSec service of any kind listed, click the delete button next to it. Yes, delete. I know it sounds wrong, but you can always enable it again - (note to Westell - the opposite of enable is disable, not delete)
Now click on add. It will give you a choice between port forwarding and port triggering. Choose port triggering. The IPSec service that's enabled by default is configured for port forwarding, which is great if you want to HOST a VPN, not if you want to be a client.
Name the service SEC Custom
On my version there are four blank port boxes but I saw a screen shot of a page with three. Put 500 in all the boxes.
Click next, and then add. My screen had an OK button - I have no idea what the difference is.
You should be back on the services screen. Pick SEC Custom from the dropdown.
Click the enable button.
Try to connect your VPN client. |

Malvern, PA | That should have said IPSec Custom and not SEC Custom, but it should work just the same. |

I have followed your direction, but I still could not make it work. When I tried to connect to my office VPN server, I always get time out error. You mentioned to put 500 into all the boxes, but I saw some other numbers in the forum. Did you try any other numbers? Thanks. |

Malvern, PA | I used 500 because as far as I could tell from what I could find 500 is the standard (or at least the default) VPN port. Maybe I was just lucky. |
