Hi, Has anyone tried connecting to a SonicWall VPN gateway on a Smart 3g? It can authenticate and do provisioning, but I get this error: Failed to renew the IP address for the virtual interface. The semaphore timeout period has expired. It might be that Smart is dropping upstream UDP port 500 & 4

Err, not really. The underlying TCP protocol takes care of re-transmissions and stuff, so your TCP session "inside" the SSH tunnel sees a lossless connection. The overhead is due to the double-encapsulation and headers. If you're going to do TCP over UDP tunnels there's a good name for that: IPSE

consumer grade routers only have 20- to 30-MHz processors. so definitely running encryption will slow things down. your typical Linux box has a lot of CPU power though. the overhead of encryption is tiny. but there still is an overhead, which will impose perhaps a 10% to 20% bandwidth penalty. O
