Unable to ping FQDN across VPN on BR500. IP works though.
Hello everyone, I am new to Netgears insight products but have to say that so far it's pretty simple. Maybe too simple, though. The VPN works great as long as I try to access resoruces by ...
Figured I'd bump this. I just realized that the BR500 is actually useless in scale without being able to tunnel all or use FQDNs.
I mean, if I have 50 people working from home, some are going to have 192.168 networks...some are going to have 10.0 networks....can't really do much without being able to encapsulate all traffic or ping fqdns. Surely this is a feature that I'm just not seeing?
It's indeed not there. Challenged YeZ (Netgear SBU) few weeks ago on this definitively required and very basic feature. Can't wait to test, or in case it's required, to talk again what we are all seeking for here.
Thank you for that information. Kind of shocking they would market a product for businesses that can't really meet any real business needs, but I guess that's why nobody from Netgear wanted to touch this post. :smileylol:
Guess I have to stick with Fortinet for now. I mean, it's not like any business in their right mind would pay me to deploy something that's going to be flat out incompatible with the last 20 years of basic networking standards....not sure what netgear was thinking putting this to market already? :smileyindifferent:
