To use this connection method, the only file you need to download and install is the NordLayer digital certificate. While our private keys are completely secure and the chances of anything bad happening are very small, we recommend this connection method only if you cannot connect using our native app or any other alternative way. This might potentially put your system at risk of a MITM attack if someone gets the private key of that certificate. That said, this manual setup lacks the additional features of the native NordLayer app and is a bit more complicated to set up.ĭisclaimer: This connection method will require you to add the certificate to Trusted Root Authorities, which will apply to all certificates. This is the preferred connection method among privacy enthusiasts, as the IKEv2/IPsec security protocol is currently one of the most advanced on the market. The IKEv2/IPsec connection is one of the alternative methods to connect to NordLayer private gateway(s) on your Windows PC.
