Hi there,
I’ve been attempting to link a Peplink to a router/gateway that isn’t from Cisco, Juniper, or Peplink. Does Peplink exclusively work with IPsec tunnels with these specific devices? Are there any alternatives or workarounds for this? The gateway we’re aiming to connect to is located in Perimeter 81.
Thank you.
Hello.
I also close IPSEC with Mikrotik, without issues.
Hi,
Peplink supports IPsec, it is tested with Cisco and Juniper.
We have a lot of customer with other vendors. You have to try it.

Interesting. What configuration or settings are you using? I’ve tried multiple set ups but have not been successful.
Dennis,
I’ve been working on setting up an IPsec VPN tunnel from a Peplink to a Perimeter 81, but I haven’t had any luck so far. I’ve experimented with various configurations, but it always seems to get stuck at the connecting stage. I’ve checked the event logs, but I’m not seeing any relevant information there. It’s also a bit puzzling that the portal indicates it only supports IPsec connections to Cisco, Juniper, and Peplink devices.
Thank you. I will try and replicate.
Tried similar settings but im still not successful. Could you elaborate your settings for Local ID and Remote ID?
hello.
You need to adapt this configurations for your WAN / LAN ip address.
Marcelo,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for your help. I managed to sort things out on my end. Turns out, the problem wasn’t with my configs but with the WAN settings in the IPSEC configuration. Once I made the right adjustment, the tunnel came up and I was able to connect without any issues. Appreciate your support.
On a related note, I’m trying to get a Peplink Balance 20X to dial out for a site-to-site IPsec VPN to a Draytek Vigor2925 router. I can get it to the point where both the Peplink and the Draytek both say the VPN is connected. But it doesn’t seem to pass any data; from a computer on the Peplink’s end, I can’t open a web GUI of a device on the Draytek’s end, for example. Pings don’t work, either.
I’m guessing this isn’t a setup issue so much as it is a routing issue, but the whole thing about “Peplink only supports…” has me concerned that this is just something that will never work no matter what I do.
FWIW, the Balance 20X’s firmware is 8.4.1, and the newest is 8.5.1. This model dates back to 2021, I think.
The Draytek is 3.9.8.3, and the newest is 3.9.8.4. However, this is an older model (pre-COVID at least) and the current f/w for all Draytek routers is something like 4.2.x.
So I am vaguely concerned about the hardware just needing to be replaced, but I’m hopeful that won’t be the case.
Screencaps of settings are below. Any ideas are most welcome! 
Hi…
At Peplink… Go to system… ping. select vpn.
Because are two network vendor… At Peplink… force udp connection!?
Can you ping from Peplink to Draytec lan ip address?
Sorry for the delay in responding…
Enabling/disabling Force UDP Encapsulation makes no apparent difference.
Under System > Ping > Connection there is no option for the VPN connection. But if I choose Comcast EDI (our WAN output) and try to ping the Draytek at 192.168.1.1 it yields the following:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 50.xxx.xxx.242 56(84) bytes of data.

— 192.168.1.1 ping statistics —
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, +5 errors, 100% packet loss, time 4006ms
Also, in the Draytek settings, I tried changing Remote Network IP & Local Network IP (towards the bottom of the screencap) from 10.48.10.0 and 192.168.1.0 to ending in 10.48.10.1 and 192.168.1.1 - that doesn’t seem to help, either.
Hi…
IPSEC by defalt use a network address… like x.x.x.0/24…
this message… Do you have a allow at Draytek? for both network inside of ipsec tunnel?
