Good point. But I would still have to try... :) Although agreed that if I were setting this up for a paying client who wanted to do it "right" I wouldn't go with DD-WRT.
I did find someone who indicated that vpn throughput from a windows box to DD-WRT (didn't say IPSec or PPTP) was around 5Mbps: http://forums.speedguide.net/archive/index.php/t-242584.html -Derek -----Original Message----- From: Phil Brutsche [mailto:p...@optimumdata.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 10:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Site to Site VPN... What works? I don't know if I would go that route, just on a basis of CPU "horsepower".
