Appendix

Choosing the Right VPN Device

What You’re Looking For

Whether you’re shopping for a new device or are trying to find out if your ex-

isting router can act as a VPN gateway, these are the magic words you’ll want

to look for – if they’re mentioned in the manual or data sheet, the device is

probably suitable:

‣

IPsec VPN

‣

IPsec Tunnels

‣

IPsec VPN Access

‣

<any number of> IPsec Tunnels

‣

<any number of> IPsec VPN connections

‣

<any number of> IPsec VPN users

‣

<any number of> IPsec SAs

Misleading Feature Names

If a device only lists one or more of the following features, it probably cannot

act as a VPN gateway:

‣

IPsec Passthrough

‣

VPN Passthrough

‣

IPsec NAT-Traversal

These features indicate that the device is capable of letting IPsec VPN connec-

tions pass through. They do not indicate whether the device is capable of of-

fering VPN services itself.

Other Types of VPNs

‣

L2TP or L2TP/IPsec

‣

PPTP

If your device provides these types of VPNs, it is possible to use the limited

VPN client built-in to Mac OS X to connect to the device. VPN Tracker lets you

control these connections from inside VPN Tracker.

Other VPN types, such as OpenVPN and proprietary SSL VPNs are not sup-

ported.

Apple Airport Base Stations

AirPort base stations are only capable of passing through VPN connections,

but do not provide VPN services (i.e. act as a VPN gateway) themselves. If

you are using an AirPort base station, you will need to buy a dedicated VPN

gateway to replace or work alongside your Airport base station.

Recommended Devices

Now for the big question: Which device do we recommend?

Unfortunately there is no generic answer to this question. There are a lot of

factors you’ll need to consider, such as the number of VPN users you need to

support, the type of Internet connection you have, etc.

The technical support team at equinux has extensive experience with a large

number of VPN gateways, so please feel free to email us with a brief outline of

your requirements, or a list of devices you're considering, and we'll be happy

to give you our take on them!
