Paid Support.This video shows how to setup vpn tunnel in cisco rv042 router. It is easiest method to con. I have a Cisco RV042 Firmware Version: v4.2.3.08. I am trying to configure a VPN. I have created a Client to Gateway under Group VPN & Created User for the same. I am using Quick VPN on my remote client computer which has Windows 10.

Nov 25, 2008 Configuration of Shrew VPN Client on RV042, RV042G and RV082 VPN Routers through Windows Block HTTPS Access for a Particular Site on RV016, RV042, RV042G and RV082 VPN Routers 12-Dec-2018 Separate Two LAN Networks with Few Public IPs on RV042, RV042G and RV082 VPN Routers 12-Dec-2018.
A few questions just to clarify and understand where you are:What version software is the RV042 running?
What VPN software are you using? IPSec, Anyconnect?
What is the device you are attempting to connect from? Android, iPhone/iPad? Laptop?
And what version is the software on this endpoint?
I tried the cisco free Client and it just can not connect despite the right user name and Password and having the certificate also.
What do you mean by this? That you want to connect to the router from a remote location and so that the router must have a predictable and static IP address? If so, yes.What configuration have you done to the router, the VPN will note work without specific parameters installed upon it.
Objective
The objective of this document is to help with connecting to the RV042 using quick VPN software.
Applicable Devices
• RV042
Connect to the router using Quick VPN software
1. Determine the network connection that is used by the computer. If the client computer is behind a router, make sure that ports 443 and 60443 are not blocked because it is the port used by the device.
2. Make sure that the username and password is configured properly on the Quick VPN software. Verify the Server IP address. It is recommended to use the static Internet IP address for the router so that the IP address does not change after the DHCP least time expires from your ISP.
3. In order to check the Internet IP address of the router, use the computer that is connected locally to the router and open http://192.168.1.1 on the web browser. By default, the username and password for the device is admin, all lower case. The IP address is shown on the System Summary tab.
4. Verify if the username and password that is used by the client computer is configured on the VPN tab of the RV042. You can try to remove the current VPN client user and then add a new one. Make sure to remember the password.
5. Make sure the RV042 is not behind another router because the software does not work if the device is behind another NAT firewall. Also, double-check to determine if there is any third party firewall software on the computers. If they are enabled, try to disable them.
Enable MTU on the Router
1. Determine the proper MTU size for the website.
2. Access the web-based setup page of the router
3. When the web-based setup page appears, click Firewall.
4. In the MTU field, select Manual. Enter the MTU value of your Internet connection in the bytes field. Abit driver.
