L2TP as Virtual WAN

Product Discussion Feature Requests
1

Hi all,

I have a B One 5G and it would be great if Peplink were able to offer L2TP as a virtual WAN option, similar to OpenVPN. I can see that L2TP is available as a WAN option on the Ethernet WAN ports but not as a virtual WAN to route over other WANs.

I imagine this could be made to work by looping WAN2 back into one of the LAN ports and then setting that to use L2TP? But would be a bit clunky.

My ISP is Andrews and Arnold in the UK and they offer an L2TP service for broadband customers which is very useful if your primary connection goes down, as you can establish an L2TP tunnel over a backup connection e.g. 4/5G and have the same IP addresses routed back to you enabling seamless connectivity.

More info is available here: L2TP service and Category:Incoming L2TP - AAISP Support Site

Although the link above is for a separate paid service, the LT2P service is available for Broadband customers for the scenario I have described above.

Keep up the good work Peplink! :slight_smile:

Thanks

Welcome to the forum Bento,
Actually L2TP is already supported on the WAN. You may want to give that a go :slight_smile:

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the welcome and for your response. I am aware that this is an option for the Ethernet WAN ports but it would be useful to have L2TP as virtual WAN option as for example I would need to tunnel L2TP over the Cellular connection.

We have a similar request open to be able to use the SF tunnel as a WAN. Opevpn was the first implemented, hopefully others will follow
