Accessing sites thru local network VPN hardware

Question

We have a Prosafe FVS336G &nbsp;Firewall/VPN. &nbsp;We'd like to set this so that users within the LAN can access sites on the internet as if it were an external VPN. &nbsp;A loop back &nbsp;tunnel of sorts to other sites using our own VPN. &nbsp;This would allow anonymous and non-geo based &nbsp;net access. &nbsp;I can add another prosafe router in between our ISP fios box if necessary.Thanks.&nbsp;

Hello netsmart,

&nbsp;

Welcome to the community!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

You can do a box-to-box VPN configuration if you will have two FVS336G's on both ends. However, your fios box, does it have routing capabilities?&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thanks,

Yes, the Fios Gateway is a router ( Fios G1100). it does routing. The FVS336G is connected to one of it's Lan ports.

The task here is to use the FVS336G as a VPN service such that INCOMING data is encrypted ( trading data for example ) and geolocation is not available to sites ( via IP lookup -- verizon ).

So instead of subscribing to a VPN service we provide our own, in a nutshell.

Thanks.

Hi netsmart,&nbsp;

Well, then there are two routers connected to each other. For you to use the VPN capabilities of the FVS336G you'll have to setup a DMZ port on the FiOS to the IP of the FVS336G. What you're looking for is possible but DMZ should be configured on your FiOS.&nbsp;
