I have a Netscreen 208 at the office and a Netscreen 5 at home to connect to
the office.

I think the Netscreen 5 was around $500. You could get two Netscreen 5s and
set up a VPN for around $1000. Easy to configure.  I do not use VOIP with
the VPN set up, so I cannot help you there.

Subject: Site to Site VPN... What works?

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. Thanks!
