Sounds good, I was about to mention that the XTM 33 is around £700 or so, its just too expensive. Even my routers cost around £50, so need a cheaper alternative to VPN solution, which is not too difficult to set up.

Hmm, So many devices to choose from. Ok. So I need to purchase 2 XTMs to set up VPN and act as firewall and the routers just stick to connecting internet? Thanks all

Ah, so those would replace the current routers? or just seperate devices mainly for VPN? A bit limited on budget, but might consider. Thanks

Well these are the two routers Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2 modem router Model: DGN2200. At the branch site - CISCO SRP527W model None of them have policies defined, but as far as I know. I do not need any other VPN equipment? Just define the policies? If so how do I go about defining the policies and then testing them? I guess CISCO would be the easiest to set up IPSEC policy. Thanks

Great. I do not have a cisco router at the other site, that router is a netgear, but again it allows for VPN setup. Before I go around adding the DC. Whats the best way to check VPN is working correctly after implementing it on the CISCO router, before adding DC site to site? Thanks again.

Hello, I want to create a site to site using windows 2008 DC at both sites. Mainly for active directory replication. I have a CISCO SRP527W model which has some options for VPN. My question is can the router act as the VPN server or do I have to configure a windows server to do all the VPN configure? On the CISCO router it has all the options of VPN passthrough enabled. These being PPTP, IPSEC and L2TP enabled. Although no site to site IPSEC policies are defined as yet. So if creating a windows 2008 DC at the other site, do I need to configure VPN on the server or just the cisco router alone? As far as I know, these are the steps. 1. Set RRAS server 2. set up VPN policies on both routers 3. Set up primary DC at HQ 4. Set up and additional DC at HQ 5. Move Additional DC to brance site 6. Ping primary DC over VPN 7. Change IP address of secondary DC and wait for replication Thanks
