Hey guys,
I set up my VPN tunnels though my router, Linksys RV082 8 Port VPN, but have had trouble connecting through a client. I have attempted to use the bundled VPN Client, "Linksys VPN Quick Connect" as well as Windows VPN client. So far, I've only been successful while using the Windows Client after I set up my PPTP server.
The thing is, for security purposes, I really want to use L2TP and IPSec. I also want to use the routers built in management consule because I like the idea of tunnels being authenticated at the router before they go into my network.
Here are a few details: I use the 192.168.1.x subnet. I remember from a class a few years back that the subnets have to be different. Is this true? If so, I would probably be better off changing my network subnet to something like 192.168.20.x.
This doesn't make sense to me at all. If I'm able to connect through a VPN from within a small city, should I be able to connect from across the ocean? The reason I'm asking because all these issues seem to be popping up.
BTW, any good VPN tutorials out there?
