    Remote access VPN?

    Hi folks, I did have one follow-up question. In the logs for the OpenVPN connection, I get recurring non-critical but persistent errors regarding MTU config mismatch: WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1541', remote='link-mtu 1557' Where 'local' is actually the...

    Remote access VPN?

    Cheers gents, I followed through with your recommendations and am pleased to report that I have everything up and running with minimal fuss. Special thanks to @elorimer for the detailed guide, I followed the suggestion of setting up the two servers with different ports/protocols so as to...

    Remote access VPN?

    I've used TeamViewer before, it is a good tool for machine to machine access. Thanks for the tip!

    Remote access VPN?

    Thanks a lot, folks! Looks like several good options here, I'll look through the materials you've referenced and try a few myself. Appreciate the responses.

    Remote access VPN?

    Hey folks, I've used Asuswrt-Merlin for years, but have never dived much into the add-ons. I'm in a situation where I'm likely to be doing a lot of traveling, and want to be able to VPN back in to my home network for security and file access. For any of y'all who are experienced with the...

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    Agreed, I doubt the average home user would even know the difference between a layer 2 and layer 3 switch, let alone what a VLAN is.

    I've not heard of Firewalla, but will look into it. Thank you for the tip!

    Connecting to VPN server with an Android native client

    Good day, folks! At work we're running an IPSec VPN on a Cisco RV345 that remote laptop users connect to with the Shrewsoft client using a pre-shared key. No issues with it at all, everyone has no problem connecting. For a few of our sales team that travel internationally, I had wanted to...

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    Just wanted to drop a note thanking Coxhaus for the assistance. Had to do a couple of factory resets to clear out whatever was ailing the thing, then go through the trouble of reconfiguring it from scratch, but it appears to be functioning correctly now. Next fun is trying to get the VPN...

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    I'll go to PMs to give you the exact information (don't want my whole configuration out for the world to see), and can later post a summary here if we're successful. Thank you, sir.

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    I appreciate the replies @coxhaus, and if it turns out to be operator error, I don't have any particular ego in it and would be happy to admit it. Before anything else, thank you for taking the time to respond and discuss, it's greatly appreciated. The Cisco rep with whom I spoke freely...

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    Oddly enough, I am reasonably familiar with the 'Cisco Way' as you say. I've been using their products for decades, most recently using the RV325 for my business. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I do know that when I changed the default IP address on the RV325, it didn't cause issues like...

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    I did end up picking up an RV345, but am going to return it due to a rather nasty firmware bug that's currently present. Essentially if you make any modification to the settings for the default VLAN at all (and that includes changing the default LAN IP address, which I would assume almost...

    Cisco RV-345P Dual WAN Gigabit PoE VPN Router Reviewed

    In the article I notice that the author, Doug, recommended an IP Sec client made by Shrew Soft. I was curious so I went to that website to read up on it, but it appears the client hasn't been updated since 2013, five years ago. Is it still a good client to use? I would think something that...

    VPN with both point-to-point and client access

    Thank you Umarmung, that's exactly why I asked the question...I know I'm relatively ignorant, and wanted to see what people with more experience have to say. I'll take a close look at the Meraki and Mikrotik and see how they line up. For someone with no experience with those brands, would you...

    VPN with both point-to-point and client access

    I'm surprised to see so many views but no commentary. Is there a different forum where it would be more appropriate for me to ask the question?

    VPN with both point-to-point and client access

    Good day folks, I have what is hopefully a straightforward configuration I'm working on, but wanted to inquire about it here to see if there was an easier/more straightforward way to do it. My small company currently has only one physical location, and our IT resources are behind a Cisco RV325...

    Proper VLAN configuration with a Cisco SG200

    All righty, I've discovered the two issues I had. Thank you for the video...although it didn't help me by itself (my RV325 configuration was correct), there was a suggested video on that page that led me to this: I believe the fellow is speaking Chinese, and his version of the interface is...

    Proper VLAN configuration with a Cisco SG200

    Thank you, those instructions are very clear. I eventually reached a point where I could not follow them, so will outline the steps I was able to take. For the testing, I am using a laptop connected wirelessly to my single guest wireless AP, as that gives me a testing environment without...

    Proper VLAN configuration with a Cisco SG200

    Thanks for the reply, @roguetr . This is indeed a level 3 switch, if the manual can be believed; possibly only static routing though, which I believe is sometimes called level 3 lite? Not sure on that account. You can definitely configure VLANs within it, and there are functions to assign...
