Outgoing VPN through WRVS4400N Frustration

I have a WRVS4400N (firmware 1.00.16) as my router at home and I have several machines connected to it. One of those machines is my work laptop which connects to my company's network using the standard Windows XP VPN client. The VPN connection stays up fine but frequently, traffic will stop running over the VPN. The strange thing is if I use my *OLD* BEFSR41 router, I have absolutely no problems with the VPN connection.
Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do about it (besides reverting to my old router)? Are any firmware upgrades planned to address this? Does the WRT350N suffer from the same problems?
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Damian.

I already tried reflashing the firmware and that didn't help either. I used two official versions, and one unofficial version and none of them behave any differnetly in this regard.
In the hope that someone from Linksys is reviewing this forum, here is a little more detail:
This problem seems to occur when I use one application in particular: SourceOffSite. Now my guess is that this particular app opens and closes TCP ports frequently and this has some sort of effect opn the VPN tunnel. I don't see the tunnel locking up when I use RDP for example (which keeps the ports open).
Please help! I don't want to have to go back to my old router!

Problem with Cisco 861W router and outgoing VPN

We have a Cisco 861W router that is blocking an outgoing PPTP on the internal access point only. The outgoing VPN works when the traffic is through a wired connection or the connection is on another access point. We fail to make a connection only when connection to the 861W's internal Access Point.

IP Phone SSL VPN through ASA

Im in the middle of configuring Ip Phone SSL VPN through ASA, got stuck on authentication.. When I enter username and password on the phone screen, i get "Username and password failed" message on the screen. However, in ASA logs I see the following line
Feb 16 2011 15:12:57 725002 85.132.43.67 52684 Device completed SSL handshake with client vpn:85.132.*.*/52684
Feb 16 2011 15:17:26 725007 85.132.43.67 52745 SSL session with client vpn:85.132.*.*/52745 terminated.
What does it mean? How can I turn on debugging to see what is going on?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
If you're not using certificates in client authentication then the SSL handshake will complete before the user is requested to authenticate with username/password. If this authentication request fails you will see the SSL session terminated immediately following this failure (as in the logs you provided). Notice the 5 seconds between the SSL session establishment and termination, this is most likely when the user is being authenticated against the aaa server. If the phone is failing authentication against an external aaa-server you'll want to investigate the logs on that server to determine the root cause of the failure. The ASA can also provide confirmation of the authentication request/reject with the command 'show aaa-server'. If you want to see what's going on at an authentication protocol level you can enable several debugs including "debug aaa authentication|common|internal' and protocol specific debugs such as 'debug radius user|session|all' or 'debug ldap'.

Starting AnyConnect VPN through RDP Session

Hi,
We have AnyConnect (ver 3.1.01065) configured on our ASA5520 boxes. VPN is working fine from the desktop, but I also need the ability to establish a VPN connection through a RDP connection (i.e. I'm using RDP to connect to a PC which has AnyConnect installed on, then trying to establish a VPN connection).
I've downloaded the Cisco VPN Profile Editor, chaned the <WindowsVPNEstablishment> option to "AllowRemoteUsers". Then applied the profile to the relevant Group Policy. Connected VPN from the PC (not through RDP), so that it downloads the new profile, and then disconnected again.
However, I still can't start VPN through an RDP connection. (Error is "VPN establishment capability from a remote desktop is disabled. A VPN connection will not be established".)
I've checked the XML file on the local PC to confirm the profile has been downloaded (and is has, and I can see the AllowRemoteUsers option.
This also happened with the previous version of AnyConnect (3.0.xxxx).
The PC's local routing tables look fine, and I can't see any conflicts that would cause the RDP session to drop.
Also - If I connect VPN, then RDP onto the PC, both the VPN and RDP sessions work fine.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Tony

Hi Portu,
Thanks for your reply, and thanks for confirming that it works with AC 3.1 and ASA 8.4 (I'm using the same ASA version).
It looks like the issue was that I created the profile with the standalone Cisco VPN Profile Editor, saved it, uploaded it to the ASA, I then added a new profile on the ASA (in the Cisco AnyConnect Profiles section), and specified the file... however, it appears that I over wrote the uploaded profile, as the WindowsVPNEstablishment was set to LocalUsers. Once I changed it to AllowRemoteUsers and applied the config, then deleted the profiles from the client, it worked!
Simple mistake - but easily done!!
Thanks again
Tony

Outgoing mail through iCloud

When I look at my Preferences in Apple Mail, I do not have iCloud listed as a server
therefore I cannot sent any outgoing mail through the iCloud servers. What do I need to change so that iCloud is listed as an outgoing server?
Thank you.

Yes they are both from my MacPro. I just clicked on the "+" and obtained the second screen. As far as I know both of my computers are on iCloud. At least when I change the Address Book or my Safari Bookmarks on my MacPro, they are changed on the MacBook.
These are my system preferences on the MacPro
When I click on iCloud, this is what I get:
So I assume that the MacPro is on iCloud, unless you tell me otherwise.

Relay Outgoing Mail Through Host Not Updating

We relay our mail through an external company and I have added the entry to Relay Outgoing Mail Through Host field and enabled the tick box. What ever I do I cannot get these changes to take affect. I have tried modifying the main.cf and enabled the relay option without any joy. After modifying these I performed a full restart but it still hasn't taken affect.
This has been working up to now but after a power cut stopped for some reason.
We are running Mac OS X Server 10.4.8.
Thanks
Ross

I'd noticed a small glitch with the GUI during earlier testing. Might not clear things for you but worth trying...
Set it with the Relay Outgoing Mail ticked and relay server entered - click Save.
Wait for whirling update thingy to stop.
Delete the relay server name then tab out of field (field fills with greyed out "relay.example.com"), only then untick the option - Save.
Wait for whirling update thingy to stop.
Tick the option, fill in the relay server - Save.
If no change, people will probably need the unedited output from "postconf -n" and an example mail.log entry showing an outgoing message leaving the server.

Cannot connect to VPN through NetworkManager anymore.

I cannot connect to VPN through networkmanager anymore. Last time used it, it worked perfectly but I don't use it so often and last time was 2-3 months ago. So I don't know what went wrong, or which package upgrade broke it.
I switched to systemd a month ago, it may or may not be related.
I can still connect from the commandline using the vpn/vpn-disconnect tools.
All that happens is an alert windows saying: "The VPN connection '......' failed because there were no valid VPN secrets." And here is the journal:

Automating "check vpn" through C#

Hello,
I would like to automatically check if the VPN is up or down, simple enough, and respond by bumping it, disconnecting and connecting, as needs be (not so simple I think).
This through a C# program using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse.
It's simple enough to login to the VPN page using known credentials. Done deal. And also very easy to check a couple of known patterns in the VPN table.
When I determine I need to bump the VPN, how do we simulate the form submission and/or call to the JavaScript programmatically?
Forgot to mention: we're using a Linksys WRVS4400N router, firmware version V1.1.13.
Thank you...
Best regards,
Michael

Thus far I can successfully GET the vpn_summary page for details like I said.
I am making an attempt at a forms POST to do the other direction now, and running into issues.
If I just POST with minimal parameters, I get the following WebException saying Status == ConnectionClosed ("connection closed unexpectedly") and the VPN goes down.
I am setting todo=tunnel_connect and h_ipsec_select=OurVpnNam: "todo=tunnel_connect&h_ipsec_select=OurVpnName", which ends up getting written to the WebRequest through GetRequestStream(), Write() the stream, and Close().
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and request.Method = "POST".
I know that authorization succeeds in general because we can process the request just fine on the front side of the utility.
So actually, my thought is that there are some hidden (or not hidden) form fields that we are missing in order to make the request good to the server?

Connect Macbook to the Internet (VPN) through PC

I got a PC with 2 network cards and a Macbook.
On a PC I got VPN connection to my provider.
How can I connect Macbook to the internet through that PC + safely sharing my PC's contents only to my Macbook.

I did all that. My question concerns more the software than the hardware. I already said that I have 2 newtork cards in a PC desktop and one in macbook. I got cables. I plugged everything in.
The problem is that the preparation work is described in so many details but the crucial program work is very unclear in the majority of web sites I googled. I need this part.

Need help about VPN and WRVS4400N and WRT350N

Hi,
I wanted to know if I can set up a server on in my house so people can access it from the internet? and for that would i need a WRVS4400N router or is the WRT350N router enough for it?because i was reading about the VPN option in the WRVS4400N router. Thanks for looking and all the help.

Which people? VPN is a good option if you need secure access for a small group of known people to the server. For a public, general access server it is of no benefit, though. Any router would do there.
But I generally only recommend to run servers like ftp servers to people you know something about networking, computer administration, security, etc. If you run an open server in the internet it can be accessed (and will be accessed) by all kinds of people. It is your responsibility to maintain an up-to-date and well secured system that prevents other people of abusing the server. It is also your responsibility to monitor the server for indication of abuse and immediately take actions if you find that there was an intrusion. You can read the stories in the internet of people which rather naive run a server open in the internet and had to deal with the police after their computer had been used to spread illegal materials.
Most people are just happy when they manage to get it working somehow and forget that once the server is up and running the real work has just begun...

Configuration of VPN in WRVS4400N?

Hi!
I'm quite new to this remote access and VPN overall, so please give me easy enough instructions...;^)
I'm just bought the Cisco (Linksys) WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router - VPN v2.0.
I'm trying to configure it to provide a remote access using VPN to a PC within LAN.
WRVS4400N is attached to a ADSL modem.
First I registered it to dyndns.org to get a "fixed" IP with success. Then I created a VPN user, again with success.
Finally I tried to create a IPSec VPN Tunnel between a laptop running Linksys (Cisco) QuickVPN client and the WRVS4400N but no success so far...;^(
Tha laptop is connected to Internet via 3G modem and doesn't have fixed IP.
I haven't figured what I should fill in the Remote Group Setup. On the Local Group Setup I filled Local Security Gateway type as "IP only + FQDN", Domain name the registered DynDNS name and got the WAN IP address, Local Security Group Type "IP Addr." and to IP Address I gave a IP address which in free within LAN.
Now I don't know what I should fill in the fields of Remote Group Setup???
Thanks!!!

Cannot Access Corp VPN through Time Capsule Since Update

Since updating to version 7.6.1, I am no longer able to VPN to our corporate servers from home... from any device. We know its the Time Capsule because:
1) Connecting the laptop directly into the Provider and not using the Time Capsule, VPN will then work
2) Taking the iPad off of the Time Capsule wireless and having it on 3G allows VPN to work
FYI - we do not use any type of "ADSL/Cable" modem here since our building has Optical and there direct-to-provider LAN through the optical switch in the building cabinet.
Steps I have Taken: I have scoured through the settings to see what might have changed... and honestly nothing changed on my Time Capsule. I went ahead and did a full reset of the device and upon reset checked to see if I could connect to our VPN server but still could not. I am able to setup a L2TP and PPTP VPN server inside my home and I am able to access it remotely.
On thing that is interesting is that I can do a traceroute out the port and it does get out, so its not like its being blocked.... I am at a complete lost to what is going on. Anyone have any insight?

What type of vpn exactly does your corporate server use? I presume it is ipsec of some sort.
I think BTMM (reintroduced with Lion and iCloud and 7.61 firmware) uses ipsec somewhere in the process.. so it is very likely Apple allocated those ports to its own usage.. and really have a could not care less if ipsec now fails for anybody else.
A solution is to simply go back to 7.5.2 firmware.. which I take as being the last that worked mostly properly!!
Another solution is bridge the TC and get another router.
As for fixing the TC.. apple have a record of breaking vpn in firmware upgrades and fixing them at some future point.. but don't hold your breath.
