You can put Peplink devices at there locations and create a PepVPN tunnel to the office for a secure connection. Otherwise we also provide L2TP/IPsec as other secure VPN options.
When I connect my laptop to the network using the L2TP connection it only routes my internet traffic and not mapping the rest of the network that is attached on the other site.
Will the PepVPN tunnel make the home office connect to the office network as if its on the LAN?
If you are connecting from a Windows client, you will need to go into the settings and select “use remote gateway” to be able to talk to your LAN network. I believe MAC has the same option. Otherwise yes, with PepVPN, once connected you will be able to talk to the LAN Network as all the routes are broadcasted (via OSPF) .
Thanks for the link.
I am confused about the “How not to use the default gateway in OSX”. It starts by stating a problem that is not clear to me. And then offers a solution for Windows XP…
for OSX VPN Select your VPN connection and click on the advanced button. A new window will pop up with three check-boxes under the heading “Session options”. The last one of these check boxes is the one you want: “redirect all traffic over VPN”.
Thanks for your help, but no that isn’t showing me the LAN in the main office.
What is does is change my iP address to the internet. Witch is a good thing but not what I am looking for.
Or do I need to open up other port and set ruled in the firewall?
I suggest using Layer 2 SpeedFusion/PepVPN. You need to put a Balance router at client’s home then establish Layer 2 SpeedFusion/PepVPN between 2 sides. Below is the link for setting up Layer 2 SpeedFusion/PepVPN.
Do you have multiple Vlans on either side? If so, please ensure the subnet of all Vlans is not conflict with the remote peer.
Have you configured static route (Network > Network Settings > Static Route Settings) on either side? If so, please ensure the subnet of static routes is not conflict with the remote peer.
If you don’t have multiple Vlans and static routes, please open ticket for us to check further.
