SouthGate Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm wondering how I would create a VPN bridge between my router and a friends to essentially make a WAN, we work on projects together and currently port fowarding works to an extent but it's very flakey. What hardware would we need to buy for a simple encrypted site to site VPN? I'm looking at a few online stores but not really sure what to buy in terms of routers. I'd buying 2, one each.

sc302 Veteran Posted September 21, 2016 Veteran Share Posted September 21, 2016 openvpn would be a great server that you could run for free, if you have an old pc laying in the corner you could install pfsense, openvpn is an option in pfsense that can be enabled. ubiquiti edge router supports vpn could pickup used sonicwall firewalls, it supports a site to site vpn could pickup used cisco asa's, they support site to site vpns freelan is a free service for vpn.

+BudMan MVC Posted September 21, 2016 MVC Share Posted September 21, 2016 what exactly are you looking to do between these networks? What are you port forwarding now? While sure a vpn can connect your 2 networks together. Seems like that is a bit much to what share some files your working on? What routers do you have now? Quite possible you can create your vpn with what you have. If they both support dd-wrt then yeah for sure you could. There is also just software you could run on each others pc, no reason to go out and buy specific routers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPreston Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I use this http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/SSTP#Site-to-Site_SSTP Its extremely simple to setup and requires nothing more complex as far as forwarding is concerned than a regular https server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 21, 2016 MVC Share Posted September 21, 2016 mikortik (routeros) runs on lots of different hardware, which one are you recommending he buy? That is just how to do a sstp tunnel. I would prob suggest ipsec if he was going that route, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
