Netgear DG834GT and VPN

[darrensen]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a VPN connection to a Draytek router from the Netgear. I know it's possible to have it on the Draytek as i've set that up many times. But on the Netgear router i cant seem to find the menu. Maybe im going blind???!!

If you're talking gateway-to-gateway, then I don't think the Netgear has the capability to act as a VPN endpoint; it'll allow VPN passthrough, but won't act as an IPSec gateway itself.

Hi,

I just just about to post the same thing. I found out some info on the net about this and your right. You need a thing called prosafe client (software).

I really need gateway to gateway, so look like i'll have to pick up another Draytek.

Thanks for your help though.

Yeah you can use DG834s as VPN clients to IPSec tunnels, we've done so

Hi, I am trying to create a LAN to LAN VPN on my Netgear and Draytek Router.

The tunnel seems to be up, but it doesn't seem to be passing any traffic through, i can't ping anything on the other side.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?

I managed to sort myself
