Question : Problem: Can you have vpn setup with both a persistent tunnel and allow incoming connections?
|
|
I have two offices connected via a persistent VPN tunnel. My question is: Can I also have mobile and remote users VPN into one of the routers? Also, can the remote client use the resources on the lan at the other end of the tunnel? I can't remember the models (linksys maybe), but I basically have some Wireless SOHO VPN routers making the connections. If a model # is imperative, I can get it, but it would mean to me that it is not possible without specialized (read:expensive) equipment. Prove me wrong please. And, thanks for your help.

Yes, I am keeping that in mind. That's why I specified that it is possible if your router supports the remote user VPN. I have persistent VPN connections from our central office to all of our remote sites (4). I also have remote users VPNing into the same unit here at our central office. It maintains the site to site connections when remote users VPN in. I have other users that VPN through the router to an internal PPTP (VPN) server which also works fine. (We didn't have enough licenses for all our users on our firewall/router.
I have a small one at home that also supports both connections simultaneously.
