We put in a new router this week. A Draytek Vigor 2910. I have used Vigors for years and had no problems with them. They are bullet proof in terms of setting up VPN tunnels between them.
However, once installed, of the people in the office couldn’t access their internet banking. After much head scratching and port opening, we traced the problem to the fact the Vigor couldn’t handle the VPN connection that is made by the software to the bank. VPN passthru has been fine in the past, and still worked for other things, but this just wasn’t going to play ball. In the end, we downloaded and installed pfSense and configured it. It took less than 10 minutes to get going, and the internet banking worked first time. Having looked around the pfSense web interface, I have to say that I love it. There is so much information there. I would highly recommend it!
