IP Assignments
(Feature Available in Professional Edition Only)
When a client is connected, K-Secure VPN™ Server assigns a virtual IP to the client. There are two
ways to control the virtual IP assignment schemes: the
Virtual Network Options can be used to
control sequential IP assignments; and the IP Assignments page can be used to define
fixed virtual IPs.
Five criteria are provided to match against a client: Computer, Internal IP, External IP,
Username and MAC.
- Computer: the name of the client computer;
- Internal IP: the Internal IP Address of the client computer (as seen from a computer in the client's LAN);
- External IP: the External IP Address of the client computer (as seen from a computer out of the client's LAN);
- Username: the username assigned to the client computer;
- MAC: the MAC address of the client computer;
- Virtual IP: the virtual IP address assigned to the client computer;

Note:
When adding a new entry into the list, or when an existing entry is modified, it is NOT necessary to define ALL of the
5 fields. For example, if only Computer is specified, then the fixed virtual IP address is assigned if a client's
computer name matches. If both Computer and Username are specified, then both must match before the virtual IP
address is assigned, and so on.
The virtual IP address specified here does not have to fall into the range defined in the
Virtual Network Options page. It can be any IP address meaningful
inside the virtual network.
