Hi, The router does do NAT, but is supposed to support "Multiple VPN Passthrough". I will be contacting their tech support to see what is up. Just to confirm though, if the router was passing through the IPSEC traffic, what would I expect the incoming packets to be - internal client IP to public freeswan IP? internal client IP to internal freeswan IP?
NAT-T is not really an option - while I have a bit of control over the box, and could probably get an RPM or 2 installed, I don't think I'll be able to convince the boss to rebuild the kernel just for me - especially not with an "experimental and unsafe" patch. :( Thanks Toby > Toby Chamberlain wrote: > > > I am trying to connect to a freeswan/l2tpd VPN from a windows machine behind > > a netgear WGT624 ADSL router and am getting a strange problem.
