Is there there a limit how many users can simultaniously connecect to a Balance One using L2TP with iPSec?

They need to remotely access a Synology DS1517+ and brows trough deep stacks of folders containing the usual office files.

Yes, the limit on a Balance One is 2 L2TP tunnels

Please see the product matrix at https://www.peplink.com/products/balance/model-comparison/
(Heading “IPsec/L2TP/PPTP VPN Functionality”)
Also note 5: “IPsec only supports connection with Cisco, Juniper, Peplink or Pepwave devices.”. While it may work with your Synology, it’s not an implementation we’ve tested against.

Hi James,

Thanks for your quick reply :slight_smile:

Wow only 2 encrypted remote connections?

That explains why we are having so much trouble…

Hey Scooter,

The Balance One is more for home office / satellite office use, so it’s not really designed for serving large numbers of encrypted connections. It’s great for making sure you have an uninterrupted connection to your main office or the internet in general, but the L2TP functionality is more for remote admin tunnels and site-to-site connections when you can’t use PepVPN connections.
