PART 1: Setting up your VPN router

Hardware: Cisco RV220w, Current Firmware Version 1.0.5.8

Assumptions:
You dont have any other VPN Setup configuration (at least not a conflicting VPN Setup Configuration)
Your router LAN is set to 192.168.1.XXX
We are using IPSec with XAUTH (preshared key and user authentication)
Navigate to this screen and configure it as shown:

Now we need to edit the IKE policy authentication for adding XAUTH
1. First, disable the associated VPN policy (follow 1,2 in the screenshot)
(Or you won't be able to save the IKE policy)
2. Then you can edit the IKE policy (follow 3,4 in the screenshot)

Once in the IKE policy edit screen, scroll to the bottom and set XAUTH

Go ahead and enable back the VPN policy:

At this point you are ready to create your users, navigate to this menu:

Click on Add, enter the username and password, make sure you select XAUTH, click on save
Repeat for every user.

And the RV220W is ready at this point.

NOTE:
Virtual network adapters are known for conflicting with each other. If you are having trouble
connecting, check for other VPN installations as well as other virtual network adapters. - For
instance, VMware workstation network adapters -

PART 2: Windows Client, Setting up your Shrew Soft VPN Client:

We are using the Shrew Soft VPN client.
You can download it from https://www.shrew.net/software
They have a Linux and a Windows version. This example focuses on the windows version.
Download it; install it (select free version) and run it.
Click on add:

Configure as follows
General: instead of 44.44.44.44 enter your router WAN ip address
Or, if you have a whatever.com pointing to 44.44.44.44 you can use it as well...

Client:
Uncheck Enable Dead Peer Detection, other defaults are fine.

Name Resolution:
DNS: Enter your DNS server(s) since the RV220W won't provide it (I am using 55.55.55.55 just as an example)
WINS: Disable it

Authentication:
This MUST match what you entered in the RV220W configuration:
Select the authentication method as Mutual PSK + XAuth

And enter the same shared key you set in the RV220W (YourSharedKey in this example)

Phase 1: Defaults are OK

Phase 2: Set as in screenshot.

Policy:
We need to make some changes here: Uncheck both checkboxes. Add a remote network resource to the same subnet you
have in the RV220W (in this example 1921.68.1.0 / 255.255.255.0)

At this point you are ready to connect:

And Shrew Soft VPN Client should give you a clean connection.

PART 3: MacOS Client, Setting up your IPSecuritas VPN Client:

We are using the IPSecuritas VPN client.
You can download it from http://www.lobotomo.com/products/IPSecuritas/
Make sure you download the right version. For Lion and more recent use 4.0rc.
Download it; install it and run it.
General: Instead of 44.44.44.44 enter your router WAN ip address
Or, if you have a whatever.com pointing to 44.44.44.44 you can use it as well.
Add a remote network side entry to the same subnet you have in the RV220W (in this example 1921.68.1.0 / 24)

Phase 1: Same as in here:

Phase 2: Same as in here:

ID: This MUST match what you entered in the RV220W configuration:

DNS: Disable it.

Option: Same as in here:

At this point you are ready to connect (select your connection and click Start)

Or you can use the IPSecuritas shortcut:

And IPSecuritas VPN Client should give you a clean connection.
