Hello everyone. I need some information about this PEPVPN feature. I just set up two balance 20 routers with this. The links are established and it is up and running. I believe that my computers are already using VPN but I am not clear how this work. How can I connect to this VPN between this two routers?
I have used other VPN services but with this one, I need some light. I am new to Peplink VPN. Thanks
Hello lcarrillo,
We use OSPF for advertising IP addresses over PepVPN/SpeedFusion. So all networks should be advertised over the VPN tunnel and you should be able to reach IP addresses at the remote location.

Yes but how can i reach those IP addresses at the remote location. Do i use a vpn client. I am on ubuntu
Hello lcarrillo,
You can use L2TP for a client VPN. To enable this you’ll need to navigate to Network > Remote User Access.
- You’ll need to enable Remote User Access Settings.
- Add a User Account details.
- Add the preshared key.
- If you have specific WANs that you would like the connection to use, select those here.
On the Ubuntu side it doesn’t support L2TP by default so you’ll need to add a PPA. I use nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp at home. It should work on all flavors of Ubuntu 16.04 and up. If you do a search on Google you’ll find a lot of guides for setting this up. Here is a guide for adding the PPA, installation, and setup.

I think we’re unsure of your question.
So lets assume you have something like this set up
To test the VPN is working you could:
- On PC A try and ping the LAN Ip of Balance Router B (192.168.2.1 in this case) if you can ping it the VPN is working
- On Balance Router A login to the web ui go to System → Tools Ping and get the balance to ping the LAN of Balance router B
- (and 4.) do the same thing as above but from the B network.
If you can ping devices on the remote network from devices on the local network VPN is working.
