Important

When you create a remote site network that uses the Internet Protocol security (IPsec) tunneling protocol, the Microsoft Firewall service modifies the IPsec filters on the computer, when restarting the Firewall service. This process can take up to several minutes, depending on the number of subnets included in the address ranges for the network. To minimize the effect, we recommend that you define IP address ranges that are aligned in subnet boundaries.
If you stop or restart the IPsec PolicyAgent service, all dynamic IPsec configuration information is lost, including ISA Server VPN site-to-site IPsec configuration settings, and VPN clients are disconnected. To restore settings, start the PolicyAgent service or restart the Firewall service.
A remote site network cannot share the same IP addresses as one of your other networks.
