Complete the following fields to configure the VPN connection with your environment: - **General:** - **Name:** Enter a descriptive name for the VPN connection. - **Email(s)** **(if needed):** Enter one or more email addresses to receive notifications related to this VPN. - **Primary Destination IP Address:** Enter the public IP address of your VPN endpoint, or leave as default “0.0.0.0”. - When configuring multiple remote peers, this address will pre-populate with “0.0.0.0”. - **Routing:** - **Routing Type:** Select whether to use **Static** or **BGP** routing. - **Subnets:** Enter the network prefixes that should be reachable through the VPN. - **Remote Peer:** - **TCP MSS** **(optional):** Specify a TCP Maximum Segment Size (MSS) if required by your network. - **IP MTU** **(optional):** Specify a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) if your environment requires a non-default value. - **ID Remote End Point** **(optional):** Enter the remote IKE identity if required by your VPN device. - **IKE Initiation Mode:** Select whether Graphiant initiates the VPN connection (**Initiator**) or waits for the remote peer to initiate it (**Responder**). - When configuring multiple remote peers, only Responder mode is supported. - **Tunnel 1 ID Local End Point** **(optional):** Enter a local IKE identity for the first tunnel if required. - **Tunnel 2 ID Local End Point** **(optional):** Enter a local IKE identity for the second tunnel if required. - **System VPN Profile:** From the dropdown, select the VPN profile that defines the IKE and IPsec security settings for this connection. - If needed, you can create a new profile by clicking **‘Create New +’**. This will open a modal to configure a new VPN profile. For more information regarding creating VPN Profiles, click [here](https://docs.graphiant.com/v1/docs/creating-site-to-site-vpn#step-1-creating-a-vpn-profile). - To configure additional remote peers, select **Add Remote Peer** in the Remote Peer section. Multiple remote peers can be added as needed to support your network architecture and redundancy requirements. - Remote peers provide redundancy and failover support for IPSec endpoint connectivity to the Graphiant Gateway. When multiple remote peers are configured, the Graphiant Gateway operates as an IKE Responder. For single remote peer deployments, the Graphiant Gateway can be configured as either an IKE Initiator or Responder, based on your network topology and requirements. > [!NOTE] > Note: > > All remaining VPN settings, including the tunnel subnets, pre-shared ketys, and IKE/IPSec security parameters, are automaticlly populated based on the selected VPN profile or generated by the Graphiant portal. **Click ‘Next’.** ![Configuration settings for VPN service profile including routing and remote peers.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-09 at 2.49.49 PM.png) Add Remote peer the user can add multiple IPSec end point to connect to a single Gateway which results in the fully meshed IPSec connection, for each peer a separate VPN profile can be added. ![Configuration settings for Peer 1 and Peer 2 in a data exchange service.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-09 at 2.52.31 PM.png) ##### Step 5: Preview & Publish This is the final step before connecting and subscribing to the Graphiant Data Exchange Service.
