Key points - need help with a data cell phone connection to remote equipment via a VPN.
Guys, I'm working with some remotely located equipment and I need to establish a comm link to it. We have decided to go with a cell phone data connection. We want to be able to remotely access this equipment via a "site to site" VPN. This is different than a client/server VPN connection that people oftentimes use to connect back to corporate headquarters for email, file sharing etc. The remote equipment is ethernet based but it is not a generic PC, it's a PLC. So I need the remote cell phone modem/router to do all of the work of encrypting the data, establishing the VPN tunnel, etc. It needs to be a VPN Router with a 4G modem built in that supports a "site to site connection" and not just be a Router with VPN passthrough. Sprint sells a Netgear 6100D 4G router that is suppose to do this. I bought it and then Sprint told me that they will not support remote access on this device! Does anyone have any experience in doing this? I've been talking to "experts" at Sprint and they want me to use a Sprint approved 4G cell/router that only supports VPN pass through after I have told them over and over that I need to do a site to site VPN with their 4G router acting as a VPN endpoint. Sadly, they don't understand the requirements. Ironically, TP Link sells a "wired" VPN router for about $60 that does what I need, so I could "stack" routers to do what I need, but I really don't want to have two routers in the remote control box. There are some really brilliant people on this list so I am hoping that someone can give me some advice/direction etc. Thank You!
