VPN and Internet Access

A 2851 router serves as an end point for an IPSEC vpn between to sites. I would like to now also allow users behind this router to access the Internet. Do I need an additional public ip address or can I hide behind the same IP?

Ron
There might be something in your requirements or in your environment that we do not yet know that might change this. But in general you should be able to allow traffic going out the outbound interface to the Internet as well as VPN traffic to a remote peer without needing a second IP address.
You would need to be careful with the access list which defines traffic to be protected by the IPSec VPN so that only traffic that is really going to the remote peer is processed by VPN and the other traffic just exits the outbound interface (doing NAT I assume).

  • RRAS VPN performance and Internet access which connecting to RRAS VPN

    For the first time, I setup win2008R2 RRAS VPN(L2TP and SSTP ) in Azure VM for my client.
    I am running Package Application which include SQL2008 in that  VM.
    I plan that remote user connect from client application using RRAS VPN to Application server in Azure VM.
    But I am worrying about the performance bottle net due to network speed reason.
    I am not yet make sure network environment of my client ( my client is living in USA ).
    1
    But if we decide to use RRAS VPN for that application , which kind of VPN(PPTP,L2TP,SSTP,IKE) will be better in network speed?
    2
    I noticed that which connecting to RRAS VPN, I could not connect to the Internet from remote client PC.
    Is there any way to enable RRAS VPN access and Internet access at same time ?

    Hi,
    1. PPTP is the easiest protocol to use for setting up VPN. And it have minimal security.
    L2TP/IPSec, SSTP and IKEv2 was more security than PPTP.
    IKEv2 can provide a secured uninterrupted ubiquitous VPN connectivity.
    Here are good article about comparing four types of VPN,
    Different VPN tunnel types in Windows - which one to use?
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/rrasblog/archive/2009/01/30/different-vpn-tunnel-types-in-windows-which-one-to-use.aspx
    2. Two common scenarios cause the problem that connected client can’t browse the Internet. First, the VPN server might not let remote clients access the Internet when they have a connection. In this case, when we close the VPN connection,
    the client can browse the Internet because the default gateway reverts to the gateway that ISP defines. Second, Windows might overwrite the ISP gateway with the VPN server-defined gateway when the client connects, so the client has no path to the Internet.
    We may need to uncheck the use default gateway on remote network to solve this problem.

  • VPN and Internet Connection Sharing? (bridging remote networks)

    I'd like to try an experiment and some advice from this list will be useful.
    +Summary: Can a Mac with two interfaces activate VPN and Internet sharing simultaneously to bridge two remote networks?+
    I've created a PPTP VPN server on our XServe at work and opened the appropriate ports on our firewall. This and a second location are linked with standard (but fast) ADSL broadband. I can log in from both Mac and Windows VPN clients at an external location and indeed the experience is just like being at work- printers, file servers and other resources (eg networked Filemaker databases) are all visible. Yay.
    Question: Is it possible to extend this concept further by logging onto our VPN with once interface (eg Airport) +and then+ enabling Internet Sharing through the second interface (eg Ethernet)? Will this allow a small network connected through the second interface to all behave as though they are on the work network, with transparent access to fileservers, printers and so on, without each bothering individually with VPNs and so on? I suspect there are physical boxes that will do this, but it would be wonderful to know if I can get a Mac with two NICs to do the same job, acting as a router between the two networks. Are there any limitations to this? I am happy to tweak under the hood if need be. I just need to know if this is possible, even in theory, and what the limitations might be.
    Thanks.

    Hey Nathan...
    My VPN is down at the moment, but I think your going to have to manually configure all of the "clients" who are sharing the VPN to an IP range that your office uses. When you connect to your VPN, check your network prefs, and you'll see the IP addresses assigned to your VPN are similar to your network at the office. So, in a way, your sharing computer has 2 IP addresses... one from your modem or router at home, and one from the VPN server at the office. It's this 2nd IP address that allows you to appear to be on the network at the office.
    So, if you can find a way to set up your shared clients the same way.... it might work. It will also be VERY helpful if your IP range at home is different from the IP range at the office....192.168... for one...and 10.0.0 for the other. (Whether traffic will pass thru your "sharing server" is a different matter altogether.)
    Now, and I'm really guessing here.. if this works at all... you may be only able to access stuff from the office on your "shared clients" (ie no internet).... the way around that is to set up your VPN to allow VPN clients to pull stuff from the internet from the office thu the VPN... and for the life of me don't remember how that is done. But it will most likely be a bit slow.
    I'd start with the basics... setup one client with a manual IP address/router/dns servers, and try to ping a computer at the office. If this works... at least part of your problem is solved.
    With all that said... it may not work at all. Good Luck!

  • Need Help with Laptops and Internet Access

    I have been having difficulties during the past week with my internet access.  I had been using FIOS for a couple months with few problems.  Initially, I thought the problem was related to thunderstorms that passed thru our area a week ago, and wondered if the router had been damaged during the storms.  But now I suspect it may be a more pedestrian issue with the computers' settings.
    I have the Actiontec M1424WR router.  With the power on, the power, internet, coax, and wireless lights are glowing and green.  I have tried rebooting the router, and have used the various "fix my connection" and optimizer tools available from online support here. 
    We have 4 PCs in the home, all with wireless adapters.  Two are desktop PCs, the other two are an HP (XP) and a Dell (Vista) laptop.  I am generally able to get internet access on the desktop PCs, since these have linksys wireless adapters with the linksys utilitiy installed, and I have a profile created in the linksys utility that usually works fine with the desktop units.
    But there is no such utility for the laptop units with their built-in adapters, and I must use Windows services to connect to the network and the internet.  I can sometimes find available networks with the Windows services, and connect to the network manually.   But many times, the SSID for our network will not be listed as avaialble, and at other times, the Windows service says that I have a network connection, but it will not connect to the Internet.  And even when connections are made, they will intermittently be dropped.
    Is there anything I can do to make the network and internet access for these laptops once again reliable? 
    Thanks,
    Rich
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is the possible scenario:
    Your router was configured correctly, and all was working well. 
    Thunderstorms knocked out power, and your router reverted to it's original setting ("automatic channel selection").
    Now you have intermittent connectivity due to the change in configuration. 
    When you go into your router to change the channel, check to see if there is an option to "keep current channel settings after power cycle".  If so, check that box.

  • I can't access my university VPN with my iPad or iPhone but I can access it with my Mac. I was wondering if there is a simple way so that I can remotely access my home computer from the iPad, turn on the Mac VPN and then access the school network?

    The iosx and open VPN app on the iPad/phone aren't compatible w my school's VPN, but my Mac is via tunnelblick. I would really like to have VPN access from my tablet so I can access journals without undergoing a tedious process.
    Has anyone encountered this and found a remedy? I'm imagining an app from the tablet that can access the Mac at home to turn on the VPN to the school and then have access.. But then I'm thinking id be reading through 2 screens then formatting/resolution could be a problem.
    Another thought was setting up a VPN at home so that my iPad can connect to my computer at home via VPN which would then allow me easy access to journals. But I'm lacking experience in this, especially a security issue as I'm going from point A to point C to get back to point B.
    I'm open to any suggestions.
    Thanks

    You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
    In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
    Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

  • VPN and Internet Sharing

    I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. I have the mac connected to the Belkin N1 Vision router (new). I have networked my xBox to the Mac via ethernet connection, and I have internet sharing of the AirPort on and the xBox connects to xBox Live just fine. When I attempt to connect to the VPN server, it will not. I turn off internet sharing and I can connect to the VPN server. Then when I try to turn on internet sharing again, I lose internet connection all together. Can anyone help?

    Something else to consider.
    If you don't do anything the default configuration of the VPN Server in Mac OS X 10.6 Server is to route all the users traffic including traffic for sites on the Internet via the Mac OS X Server. If your happy enough for only the traffic that needs to reach your internal LAN to go via the VPN Server and to let the (remote) users Internet traffic go via their own Internet link instead of the office VPN, then you need to add at least one rule in the VPN Server.
    Launch Server Admin
    Click on the VPN service
    Click on Settings at the top
    Click on the Client Information tab
    In the big box at the bottom add a rule to route to your office LAN and mark it as type Private.
    See page 151 of the Mac OS X 10.6 Server "Network Services Admin v10.6" PDF manual.

  • Cisco vpn and Internet Connect 10.4.6

    Today, after upgrading to 10.4.6 and mindful of the advertised feature that the built-in vpn now works with a Cisco server, I tried to use the l2tp/ipsec configuration to connect to a Cisco 3000 VPN service. Didn't work.
    I sniffed the connection and found that on connection Internet Connect sends an ipsec exchange type of "Identity Protection (Main Mode)". The 3000 does not respond to this request at all, only to Aggressive Mode. I have tried eliminating the "Main mode" exchange type from /etc/racoon/racoon.conf and also /etc/racoon/remote/anonymous.conf which are the only two places I can find a setting for it. Made no difference.
    The plist file for the vpn config does not have any of the lower level ipsec parameter settings so I assume that /etc/racoon... is what is used.
    Is there anywhere else or any other way to change the phase 1 negotiation type from Main to Aggressive?
    Has anyone got the built-in VPN service to talk to a Cisco 3000 Concentrator with the current OS release?
    Thanks

    assume that /etc/racoon... is what is used.
    I found this tip in another post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1738615) - thanks to Alan Snelgrove! - there is a conf file that is generated during the VPN session (in my case only 30 seconds long until it times out). The name of the file is "IPADDRESS.conf" (where IPADDRESS is the actual address to connect to) and it is located in /etc/racoon/remote. If you look there during the attempt to connect another file besides anonymous.conf will be there.
    I tried to save this file in the /etc/racoon/remote directory, but the next time I tried to connect it overwrote the file and removed it after the attempt timed out.
    I don't know if that helps...

  • Loss of DNS connection and internet access to camera

    I seemed to have lost my connection after a power outage last week. I've reconfigured the camera several times and it still seems to lose it's settings (date, static IP) I've checked the port forward settings which are fine. I see the camera on my PC utility and within my network. There is also a error on the camera that it hasn't been able to contact the DDNS server on it's scheduled updates. Any suggestions. I'm using the Linksys router WRT54GX2.

    Hi....
    As you are losing the settings on the camera i would like u to upgrade the camera firmware.
    Also upgrade the router firmware.
    After upgrading the camera and the router firmware, reset the devices and then reconfigure it.
    After reconfiguring the camera, login into the camera setup page, go to setup and then sololink DDNS and click on Update now.
    Check whether you are able to access the camera  remotely.

  • Best internet access method over MPLS?

    Hello!!
    once again, i have to choose between design opinions and I'd like to hear about your exeperiences... Now referred to internet access.
    I have several customer needing to learn full internet routing and stablishing bgp connection with our PE's (for access backup pourposes).
    When needing to use more specific than default routes, it's said to be more conventient to use global routing tables to distribute full internet routes, in order to save memory on the PE's.
    Now my doubt: if this design forces me to use diferent subinterfaces and VRF's for a client needing both VPN and internet access, and knowing that maybe I could use the same vpn for providing internet to all our customers, sho internet routes will be available in just one VRF... wouldn't it be cleaner using just one vpn (and one vrf in every PE router) for internet access for all the customer (yet Knowing it will use three times more memory)...?
    know ebgp sessions in a PE could be stablished through de internet access vrf. Moreover, any client needing private VPN could use a diferent (sub)interface
    what do you think about? global routes or just one vrf carrying internet routes?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, both are good options, and we have designed networks for SP's with both these options. The deciding factor for them however has been, the requirements form the INternet Service, Wthether this service is for A) End customer who want default or partial/full routing table. Or wtherther this service is for a B) ISP who can serve his TIer 2/3 ISP customer.
    A) For End Enterprise Customers.
    If its meant for end customer who simply want a default route and some customer who may want partial/full routes but who arent ISP's then You can consider the VRF solution, as it would be very easy for you to provision and deprovision within the network. Just a little more load on the memory but since its one VRF your typical PE can handle the Internet in a VRF with 1 gig of MEM.
    B) For Tier2/3 ISP Customers
    Now if its for your T2/T3 ISP customer, then the VRF method has certain drawbacks,
    Drawback ) ISP customers dont want a single best route coming to them from a RR, Since you are their provider ISP you would be having many connection to upstream peering points and NAP/IXP. So your ISP customers want all these routes so they can themselves decide the best route for different service requirements of their end customer.
    Solution) Now if you have to give all these routes to the ISP you have to assign a different RD value for ech upstream peering point,
    Caveat) This ould increase your memory requirement on the PE's and RR's tremendously as they would be holding duplicates of you Internet Routing table bcos of different RD values.
    Differen Approach ) Having said that, some ISP's have implemented the best of both world, but it comes with cost constraints. You can extend you IBGP of the Internet AS withing a VRF, that is infra routes only within VRF and have dedicated Internet Peering Edge Routers at all locations where you consider to provide this service to ISP's, so you extend you IBGP using the VRF, hence none of the P or PE routes hold no internet routes in any form, they only have the infra routes in the VRF. using these Infra routes, the Internet Peering Edge Routers form IBGP with a Internet RR which is your dedciated regular RR for Internet routers, and exchange all internet routes, and give them to your downstream ISP customers.
    Global Routing Table )
    Ntohign wrong with this, method, everything works as it was working before your MPLS network was there, except the fact that your intermediate routers dont hold Internet Tabel and its a BGP Free Core.
    This is better than the VRF option A method
    as you wont hold internet routing table with more memory which is bcos of the VPNV4. And the Second VRF option B is far superior to this method but with added one time cost.
    Hope this info helps u to decide better.

  • Solaris 8 installed-no printer or internet access??

    I have installed Solaris 8 OS on intel architecture and finally it works---except for printer and internet access. I found the add printer window but don't know what port it's on??? How do I get printer to work(canon bjc2100)Also have installed network card since S8 OS installation but can't access internet----how please???
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    The parallel port should be something like <tt>/dev/lp1</tt> (old
    device name), or
    <tt>/dev/printers/0</tt> (newer device name, I think this appeared
    when solaris 8 started to support USB printers). Do you see such
    devices on your system?
    If these devices do not exist:
    Interrupt the boot process with ESC to enter the "Device
    configuration assistant" (DCA), do you see the parallel port listed in the hardware list on the second screen?
    If the parallel port hardware is listed in the DCA, continue booting,
    and boot with the kernel with the "-r" flag. The "-r" performs a
    "reconfiguration boot" and the /dev/lp* or /dev/printers/* devices
    should be created.
    If the printer port is listed in the DCA hardware list,
    and the reconfiguration boot did <b>not</b> create the unix
    printer devices, and the command <tt>prtconf -Dv | grep lp</tt>
    does not print <tt>lp (driver name: lp)</tt>, you may be running
    into the solaris 8 ACPI bug (bug id 4344312). This bug results in
    non-working on board hardware when using certain combinations of
    main boards and bios versions; often seen on boards using VIA
    south bridge chipsets. In that case have a look at http://www.tools.de/solaris/via/ for a possible solution.
