Accessing sites thru local network VPN hardware
We have a Prosafe FVS336G Firewall/VPN. 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. A loop back tunnel of sorts to other sit...
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,
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.
Thanks,
