By default, when creating a VPN Site-to-Site, the system requires the creation of a Site and a Tunnel.

The Site represents Phase 1 (Public Gateway information), and a single Site can have multiple Tunnels.
The Tunnel represents Phase 2 (Private Subnet information), where each Tunnel is associated with a remote subnet.
Remote Public Gateway IP: Public Gateway IP of WAN on Remote Site (Ex: server OnPremise (PFsense)).
Remote Private CIDR: Network LAN CIDR of Remote Site.
Optional Pre-shared Key: Secret key that GreenNode's VPN and Remote VPN use for Authentication Purpose (Pre-shared Key – PSK must be the same on 2 sites). Disable the select box "Used Your Pre-shared Key" to use PSK generated by GreenNode VPN Service

Besides that Component Algorithm Configuration defines factors for a basic VPN connection, currently, GreenNode supports the default config in the below pic. The customer can customize it on the nearest day
- IKE Policy: Configure for Phase 1 of VPN IPSEC (the Configuration at both sites must be the same).
- IPsec Policy: Configure for Phase 2 of VPN IPSEC (the Configuration at both sites must be the same).
