Site to Site VPN- Best Method

Jae Lupo

I just upgraded our 4 firewalls to XG (latest build).  We use IPsec firewalls.  When a firewall is rebooted or there is a power failure the IPsec VPNs do not reconnect on their own.  I have to mess around with both sides of the tunnel to get them to connect again.  I created a new SSL VPN between two sites and it works fine after a reboot.  What is the current preferred method for Site to Site VPNs, IPSec or SSL?  If it is IPSec why wouldn't my VPNs connect on their own after a restart.  Thanks.

    I use Site to Site SSL and it seems to work fine for me.  I have tried to use RED to connect 2 XG's but I have never been able to get it to work, the RED tunnel is established and up but I can't get traffic to flow across it.  

    I'd be curious to know which of the 3 methods, IPSec, RED, or S22 SSL the folks here find to have the best performance?

    Red between XGs works great if you tweak it right. 

    Can't tell with numbers but both seem to work equally well.

    On one company I have a star topology with Site2Site SSLVPN on which on the central one machine does video stream and one of the others in the star does the radio stream to everyone else. 7 points. Works well if the internet lines are good. On most of them they're 100/100

    On another it's red with gateway setup (though it's a dedicated red device) which flows all network data through the central which also works well(central wilth about 70 machines, red with same, maybe more). 100/100 on both sites

    Personally on my home setup I set it with a friend and another spot, all 3 with XG and RED. Works a treat for streaming from the nas. It's mostly got to do with internet speed. On home setup the central one has 200/200mbps internet line and the stars have 18/1 & 8/1 respectively
