RBR50 as VPN server behind Cisco ECP3925
Hello, I need a little bit of help here: I have an Orbi RBR50 (fw vV2.3.5.30) connected to a router/model Cisco EPC3925. I would like to connect from Internet using a VPN client to my Orbi system se...
I think I solved my problem (finally), by setting my RBR50 as DMZ host IP address on my modem/router EPC3925. Is there any risk to do that, enabling attacks from Internet on my home network?
Glad you discovered the DMZ. (Usually, one of the "Guru's" on the forum will point notice when I have overlooked something.)
Having the DMZ point at the Orbi is one of the accepted methods of avoiding the "Double NAT" problem. The Orbi is exposed the same way it would be if the Cisco were only a modem.
Good Luck!
Thanks a lot for your message, and for having replied so fast. I actually tried DMZ at the same time as you posted your first reply. I left it at enabling DMZ, because I am not sure how to implement the passthrough solution on that sepcific Cisco modem/router. I will come back to your proposal if I meet a roadblock. Again, thanks a lot.
