Is it possible to VPN into a specific VLAN?
We use all 4 possible networks on our Orbi Pro Wifi6 setup. The default VLAN (1) is for network management purposes. Then we have VLAN 20 where the employee devices and their data reside, VLAN 30 w...
In Netgear's terminology (the way I understand), the network 1 is for network management and the normal business activities, on- and off-site, and direct port forwarding from the Internet. The employee network is intended for BYOD, so for on-site, and potentially with limited access. This is why the VPN is predefined for the network 1.
Writing of "network" here, because the design does date from the original Orbi Pro which has four predefined networks (even named accordingly). This design (VPN and port forwarding just to the network 1) was carried forward with the VLAN-enabled newer Orbi Pro WiFi 6.
While this change makes the management more complex having to select the "target" network resp. VLAN, technically there should not much stopping this. BruceGuo can you please elaborate? And yes, I understand this is a design change, requiring a product management take to enhance.
