    Isn't L2TP/IPSec very insecure these days? I've read somewhere that the encryption can easily be broken?

    • @TechnologyMoments
      @TechnologyMoments  10 месяцев назад +2

      It may very well be considered secure, but in terms of encryption is not unbreakable. I would say 7 in a 1-10 scale. Try to use the highest security possible as IKEv2 and sha256. A certificate is ideal. There is a lot of literature for the perfect VPN. A lot of people argue to go for OpenVPN but others may say that it runs over the same type of encryption of IPSEC so... I use it all the time but hey! I do not handle state secrets :-)

    Hi, thank your for this super video!
    I hvae two questions:
    1/ Do I need to have my ISP router as bridge mode to make this configuration work?
    2/ In case that I do not need to have the ISP router in bridge mode, then the R605 will work as a secondary router. How to set up the tplink so it takes the same IP range as the ISP router? Is this needed to create a site to site VPN?
    Do you have any video about this?
    Also, with this configuration, is all the trafic from the remote network goings throuh the main network?
    In a nutshell,
    - I have a remote device that I need to control from my office
    - I want to connect the remote metwork to my office network so I can see it
    - I bought 2 R605
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Best,

      Thanks for your comments. 1. Yes bridge mode could be the answer, or you can opt to have your ISP hand you control of your IP address (public) and this would be ideal 2. We do not have a video for that, but basically you can redirect all ports to your router from your ISP's router. With this config, only the traffic destined to your remote network will go through the VPN tunnel. At least you need to have an external IP in one location, and you can start with OpenVPN between the two.

    • @TechnologyMoments
      @TechnologyMoments  8 месяцев назад

      It is most likely due to firewall restrictions blocking everything coming from outside the "local" lan. Check our video: ruclips.net/video/xWu5cIaPLkk/видео.html you may find it usefull. Also check logs on both end routers.

    I really loved this tutorial! Can you create a how to video showing how to set up an Omada Managed redundant Inter VLAN setup with redundant connections between 2-3 Switches (or one router and two switches if possible)? If possible, will you show how to do it using a Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 approach? I tried to do it with layer 2 by enabling RSTP on the two switches, but that caused the switches, and the router to loose management and hang on adopting. However, the configuration seemed to work, I just lost management of the router and swithches. I had to remove the redundant connections and factory reset them and then adopt them again to get them back. I'm using two TL-SG2210MP POE switches and an ER7206 Router. I want to set up LAN1 and LAN2 ports on the ER7206 to go to each of the two switches, with a redundant physical line between the two switches. I can then setup two cameras and two wifi access points on each switch for a total of four cameras and four access points.
    I set up my home and cabin with three wired cameras and two Omada short stacks. I have a control vlan and a dedicated video camera vlan at my cabin and two site2site VPN's sending data to my home. One manages the networking equipment with the controller at home, and the other sends video surveillance data to an NVR at my home. It worked great for six months until I lost the link between the Router and my POE Switch running the cameras and wifi access points. I am guessing my switch needs to be rebooted, but if I had a redundant setup, I may have only lost one switch and been able to maintain connection to another with half or even all my cameras. I'll be going down and snowmobiling in over New Years with a replacement switch (incase the other switch went bad), a few heat pads connected to redundant wifi temperature controllers (to keep the temps above 0 in the weather proof cabinet with the networking equipment), and a web power switch to auto reboot equipment if they lose a ping for more than an hour (long enough to allow for a remote firmware upgrade).

    Great video. Is there a way to implement a kill switch so that any client will not be able to access the internet if the VPN drops?
    This is important because for some applications the moment the VPN drops, all devices will access the local internet and show the actual location.

    • @TechnologyMoments
      @TechnologyMoments  Год назад

      If your ISPs router is in the middle you can ask them to handle the public IP to yours. That way their router will redirect everything to yours. An alternative is to make them configure the DMZ to your router (private IP)... just thinking... hope it helps

      Yes, it is possible and actually a tot of people struggle to have it working the other way, to force it to use the local ISP's gateway. I have not needed it that way so I have not used it like that, but of course you may find many tutorials for such approach.

      Actually as may have been explained in another of our videos, for VPNs it is much better to use the standalone setup, as we noticed settings are not properly deployed if a power failure takes place and no controller is available. Thanks for watching our videos.

      It does require a public IP adress but in the configuration you can link it to a Dynamic CNS service. Other important aspect to note is you can place them behind firewalls and just forward the corresponding ports.

      Yes you can actually test your VPN being them in the same network assigning eachone of them a private IP. A VPN practice many companies put in place (not actually with routers but PCs) to protect important data within their LANs

    HI Alan, I have done exactly what you did with 2 X ER7206 at both ends. I am able to access the internet through the ER7206 locally from each device, but no luck connecting between the sites. Only difference is that I have a 4G connection at the branch end. .Does these have to have Static IP addresses provided by ISP? Can I test with Dynamic ISP provided IP addresses until I get Static IP addresses provided? or it does not work with out the static IP address? Are there any other settings I need to configure such as routing on the ER7206s?

    • @TechnologyMoments
      @TechnologyMoments  2 года назад +1

      Hi, these site to site VPNs relly very much on the routing tables created or updated at the time of connection. Check if the networks specified as local and remote are the ones specified. If you can "see" both routers, it may very well be that the problem. Start in a specific order. For example remote network 192.168.15.1/24 , and local 192.168.16.1/24. Also check that firewalls are properly configured with exceptions of remote LANs or differenrt scopes. Check our video regarding that specific topic: ruclips.net/video/xWu5cIaPLkk/видео.html and hope it helps.

    • @TechnologyMoments

      Hi, when we talk about a remote and local IP addreses it is intended for the public IP address. Normally the ISP will give you a dynamic IP address. You may have to ask for a public fixed IP, or you can ask for a method with them to receive such address like VLAN, PPoE or even configure your ISPs modem as a bridge to your router so you'll have control of all forwarding being done.

Internet access at the branch office is local, but once it needs a resource from the remote office, routes it through the tunnel. Has worked great for 5 months every day, with very important services that require 8 AM to 8 PM remote access to terminal server and printers.

      I wouldn't see a reason why not. Basically any router should be able to connect to these er605 as they are deeply configurable. Not all routers can be servers, but they all can be clients. The only limitation youo may have at any point is that it would be a client network and not a site to site interconnection. I would study your particular tplink 4G router a little more. If you can please send us the model you have.
