Field	Description
VPN name	Name of the VPN connection. It’s recommended to use an easy-to-remember name (e.g., vpn_to_aws).
Description	Short description (optional) to help distinguish between different connections.
Pre-shared key	Shared security key between both sides (can be manually defined or system-generated).
Local IP Public	Public IP address on the FPT side.
Local private networks	Internal network ranges to be connected (enter in CIDR format; multiple entries supported).
IPSec policy	Encryption policy for Phase 2
IKE policy	Encryption policy for Phase 1
Customer gateway name	List of Customer Gateways you have created (to add a new Customer Gateway, please follow the guide here).
Delay	Waiting time between retry attempts (in seconds).

Note: To ensure stable connectivity and minimize interruption risks, we recommend configuring the DPD Delay and Max Failure parameters on the FCI side to match those on your partner device (e.g., AWS, Fortigate...) in the VPN connection.

For providers:
AWS:

Delay	Max failure
15	3

Fortigate:

Delay	Max failure
15	3
If you adjust configuration parameters on the provider side, please update the corresponding settings on the FCI side to ensure compatibility and maintain optimal VPN connection stability.
Max failures	Maximum number of retry attempts before the connection is marked as failed.
Step 4: Click Create VPN Connection to complete the setup.
