always on VPN

David Harrison1

Hi all, 

I work from home and i'm looking for an always-on VPN solution.

we have 2 firewalls in the office, Firewall XG210 + Firewall XG125

Both have VPN setup for remote users to access the main office.

Now, I know about the RED devices (and i was using one for a while and it was a perfect solution. but had to return it)

Can I use an OpenWRT router or a windows app that does the same thing? just makes a permanent connection back to the office?

i'm using currently using the SSL VPN client which works in a fashion, but it seems clunky compared to the RED box.

Differences:

over RED, I had access to other VLANS in the office, everything seemed quicker,  when i did go into the office i could access my PC at home (RDP).

over SSL VPN its slower, i cant access all VLANs and I cant access my PC at home.

    I think you can configure everything on SSL-VPN what you can configure on a RED. 

    There might be some policies and routes missing if you have installations with serveral sites and/or more than one router.

    However I was not able to run alway on VPN as there seems to be an bug in the implementation that disconnects the configuration at the time of the key renewal (using tcp and two factor authentication through the sophos App).
