Re: Re VPN

If anyone can recommend a SOHO or lower cost small business device device that could replace it then I would appreciate it. I was initially looking at a Zyxtel USG or Zywall device or similar...

Asus AC-RT87U has dual-core (1GHz) CPU so should have bit more grunt than some of the cheaper SOHO routers, and AsusWRT-Merlin is quite good and is improvement on the stock AsusWRT.

Alternatively ebay is full of cheap more business class devices (for example Cisco 1801 which has built-in ADSL2 modem). Only 100Mbit/s ethernet so would be a bottleneck on faster VM cable connections). Advanced IP Services supports hardware-based IPSec encryption (inlcuding AES iirc).

Just to mention couple of options. I'm sure other commentards will offer some good solutions.
