truestream static ip

[Guest]

As for hardware, we haven't yet evaluated the various hardware VPN client devices in the marketplace. I searched Amazon and found a few, but have no direct experience with any of them. I'd guess that most customers who take a single static for a server will just run VPN on that server directly, but people's needs vary.

How about also providing the information so we could set up the site-to-site for those of us who have the hardware already? It would be great not to require another device.

Sorry, can you clarify the request?

I'm assuming GG is asking for configuration (L2TP? IPSEC?) information to set it up with his/her own router.

With this setup though, I won't be able to VPN into my home network like I'm able today, unless I get a second VPN setup?

hhwong got it. What I meant was maybe we could establish the IPsec tunnel using firewalls such as pfSense, Juniper SSG/SRX, Cisco ASA, etc.

I haven't thought about that but if the Sonic IP is a routeable address it should work.

Ah, yes, of course. I do not anticipate that we will supply or recommend specific hardware, but will provide a standards-based VPN which you can point a client or endpoint toward.

Yes, I can't see why this would be a challenge. You'd be using VPN to obtain a static IP (as a client), then running a VPN server for your own remote access. A tunnel within a tunnel, but totally do-able.

I like the option of a static IP, but won't we get a performance hit using a VPN?

Yes, but these connections are generally fast enough that this isn't a significant factor.

My experience w/prosumer VPN routers (i.e. low-end) that the bandwidth hit is fairly significant. I guess i'll find out how my Edgerouter LITE handles it when you guys roll it out....
