# IPSec VPN

This Config Guide provides some basic guidelines for creating a VPN IPSec tunnel using either AutoKey IKE or manual encryption key mechanisms. Click the AutoKey IKE Gateway link to open the VPNs > AutoKey Advanced > Gateway page in the WebUI. From that page, you can either Edit an existing gateway or click the New button to create one. If you need additional help, click the question mark (?) in the upper right corner of the screen. To return to the Config Guide page, click the Back arrow of your browser.

Use this Config Guide in the same way to configure phase 1 and phase 2 proposals, and to bind a tunnel interface to a security or tunnel zone.
