Hi!
I have difficulties providing a VPN solution to
some Wireless clients of my company. I'll give you detailed
explanation:
The case :
TARGET(1) -- I N T E R N E T
- WebServer - Winroute - I AM HERE - Linksys - My client
(TARGET(2))
[Claussen, Ken] What version of the software are you
running, also what model linksys are you using? for a refrence on speeds check
out www.practicallynetworked.com it
has excellent reviews of many Linksys
products.
I
connected the two TARGETs (mapping in both Servers Winroute and on the
Linksys Router) but they told me that the connection was very slow and
definitivly they are not happy with the solution.
QUESTION:
Does the Firewall create problems in
communication with VPN? If so, please can you explain what is the reason, and
what can be the solution?
[Claussen,
Ken] What firewall? Winroute, AFAIK, is simply a NAT/PAT
software package. It is also difficult to judge speed degradation without more
info on the type and specs of hardware, number of clients, versions of
software, internet connection type, and wireless technology deployed. also
what VPN software and are you using encryption, cause encryption can
cause processor intensive operations on the machine encrypting the data stream
(usually the end nodes). Where are the VPN endpoints, from your description it
sounds like they tunnel from their PC to the winroute box. Hence I would check
the resources on the Winroute device.
Artur.
