Process for establishing a VPN connection between two networks

摘要

A VPN connection is established between two networks (1, 6), with two communication devices (2, 7) assigned to the given networks (1, 6), a transmission device (11), and an identifying means. An initial VPN data package is transmitted from the first communication device (2) to the transmission device (11). The second communication device is identified (7) to the transmission device (11) through use of the identifying means. A second VPN data package is transmitted from the second communicating device (7) to the transmission device (11). The transmission device (11) provides an initial VPN configuration parameter (12) for establishing the VPN connection between the communication devices (2, 7) for the first communication device (2), and the transmission device (11) provides a second VPN configuration parameter (13) for establishing the VPN connection between the communication devices (2, 7) for the second communication device (7).

1. A process for establishing a VPN connection between two networks, with two communication devices assigned to the given networks, a transmission device, and an identifying means, comprising the following steps:
b) identifying the first communication device to the transmission device through use of the identifying means comprising a log-in on a webpage of the transmission device, whereby the identifying means takes the form of a temporary log-in account for the webpage, which is generated in this step, c) transmitting an initial VPN data package from the first communication device to the transmission device, e) identifying the second communication device to the transmission device by means of the identifying means comprising a log-in on the webpage of the transmission device, whereby the identifying means takes the form of the temporary log-in account for the webpage as generated in step b), f) transmitting a second VPN data package from the second communicating device to the transmission device, k) extracting by the transmission device of a first VPN configuration parameter and a second VPN configuration parameter from a received initial VPN data packet and/or from a received second VPN data packet, l) provision by the transmission device of an initial VPN configuration parameter for establishing the VPN connection between the communication devices for the first communication device, m) provision by the transmission device of a second VPN configuration parameter for establishing the VPN connection between the communication devices for the second communication device, and n) establishment of the VPN connection between the communication devices by the first communication device and/or by the second communication device.
