Re: [PCTECH] Re: Wireless AP with VPN

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

NAT & IPSEC can get along just fine. The LinkSys WRV54G can handle up to 50 
tunnels. It is wireless-G, so it's fairly fast. Also is a 4-port full 
duplex 1/100 switch. At my previous job we used LinkSys' earlier BEFVP41 - 
up to 70 tunnels. There are also the RV016 and RV082 - 50 tunnels, 16 & 8 
wired ports respectively.

I don't think any of these use digital certificates for client access - 
could be wrong, I did just a brief survey of the user guides. They use 
preshared keys. Maybe this does not matter if going from device to device.
