Need help setting up site to site VPN. Nothing works.

I've gone through every tutorial I can find online along with following every bit of documentation and I still cannot get site to site VPN working between these two identical routers. Both sites have static IPs. Is anyone available to help me out?

 

Thanks!

    Hi bigbagofthings,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Let me share this guide below and read pages 3-5 :

     

    Create an IPv4 Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Tunnel

     

    Make sure that the LAN network address of the main site is different to the remote site.  For example, if the main site has a LAN network address of 192.168.1.0 then, the remote site should be on a different LAN network address such as 192.168.9.0 or 10.0.1.0. 

     

    Also, it would be best that the Public WAN IP Address is registered on the WAN port of the VPN firewall on the main site as well as with the remote site.  

    Here is another article below that would help:

     

    Configuring a Box to Box VPN on ProSAFE/ProSECURE routers using the VPN Wizard
