You looking to setup a vpn tunnel to only one other location ? You could for very low cost use a couple of NetGear FVS firewalls and just have routing tables for each side point to the Netgear for the gateway to the other network... Probably less than 30 minutes setup

Greetings List, I've got a small lab of computers offsite. I want to be able to access them for support from HQ. While dail-in style VPN works okay, I'm thinking of getting a real site-to-site network solution working. I do want all traffic between the two sites encrypted, I've looked at IPSec and OpenVPN. For our situation, neither worked well. So, I figured I'd ask the list: What is a good Site to Site VPN solution? Qualifications we're looking for (In order of importance): 1. Cheap, as in less than $1000. 2. Easy to use. Somebody with basic routing knowledge should be able to configure it. 3. Reliable. Works well with all kinds of traffic. Doesn't drop connections often, maybe tries to re-establish when connection is lost. SMB shares over the VPN work well. Maybe even a VOIP user or two... Anybody know of anything that can do these? How about any 2 out of the 3? Let me know what did work for you and what did not.
