VPN and Satellite Internet

Is this possible? I have a vpn connection currently w/ broadband internet. Moving to rural area. Can only get satellite internet. Is there one satellite internet service that is compatible with a vpn connection?

You'd have to check with each specific provider to see what they recommend.
One option is to use SSL vpn instead of ipsec.

Clean Access and satellite internet

We have NAC 4.1.6 enabled for our IPSec VPN client users, and have at least one user coming in from a HughesNet satellite Internet connection. When he connects via HughesNet, the VPN connection works fine but the NAC agent will not run and check his machine. However, when he uses any other type of Internet connection (including a Verizon aircard), NAC works properly.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a fix or workaround? He's running the 4.1.6 Windows agent. Thanks.

Try connecting the console directly to the router which is connected to the internet and check if it works. If it works then you will only have to change the MTU size on the ASA. Another option will be to have the console connect directly to the internet bypassing the CCA.

ITunes and Satellite Internet daily limit don't mix!! Help....

I have satellite internet which has a daily download cap. I can download unlimited mbps from 2AM to 7AM. ITunes music/videos use up a lot of mbps when I buy music. I am looking for a program that I can use that will manage the itunes music downloads during 2am-7am only so that I can still buy music, but don't have to go over my limit. Does anyone know of such a program?? Or any other ideas I could try that would help me to stay within my limits?

Set your iTunes to not "automatically download" your purchases. Then you can engage the downloads during a time that costs less.
Ultimately, it may not be as straight forward, but if you do engage a download, and it's poor timing, you can pause it and resume when ready. This might be annoying if you purchase several items and EACH has to be paused, but it will accomplish what you wish.
Another alternative is this:
Use playlists and "Gift" yourself.
I have done this in the past to accomplish a single-click-buy for multiple random items I want to get in one step.
1) Create a playlist from iTunes store items: Just drag items to a created playlist.
2) GIFT the playlist to yourself.
3) Redeem the playlist of items when downloading is cheap.
I hope something here helps.

IChatAV3 and Satellite Internet

Since I live in the swamps and Bellsouth only has dialup, I have subscribe to WildBlue Satellite Internet. My downlink is 1Mbps and uplink is 200Kbps. The downlink works pretty good but my problem is with the uplink. Various testing indicators say I am really doing about 168 Kbps uplink. And that is about what I really should expect.
The problem is, iChat sees the uplink as less than 50Kbps and therefore you know what that means. I have been through the FAQs and tried to ensure the speeds, ports, firewalls, setups, etc. I have my streaming speed set to my downlink of 1Mbps. The WildBlue technicians tell me that satellite delays is what the problem could be. And also that it is an iChat software problem.
Help!!

Hi LA Sculler,
This is normally down to the latency of the modem.
They are often set so that the data rate is slower when the use is low and it speeds up as you put through or request more data.
iChat requires that the speed is there from the moment you start up iChat as it takes a reading from the Quicktime setting.
It is often difficult if not impossible to fool the modem (such as listening a sample of a iTunes store file) to get the modem to tell iChat that the connection speed is fast enough.

EA3500 and Satellite Internet

I used the CD to set up my new EA3500 with my Wild Blue Satellite internet modem.
An IPhone or IPad can connect and work like a charm, remaining rock solid at all times. Windows 7 on the other hand, will work and then lose connection to the internet. The PC appears to remain connected to the EA3500, but the connection between the EA3500 and modem appear to be lost. I can click on the bar Icon at the bottom and it shows everything to be fine. I click on disconnect and then wait a few seconds and click on connect again and it works for a few minutes before having to do it again.
When I look at the router properties the CD set it up for DHCP.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Larry

Thanks very much for the response.
Yes I am trying to use the laptop wireless and if I can get it to work reliably, will set up another laptop on the wireless. I will take your suggested router settings and see what I can do with them. I have cables to the laptop locations that I have not even tried to connect to the EA3500. Worst case, I may try that if I can't get the wireless to work.
To be clear, when the laptop loses connection in the network diagram it shows the connection broken between the router and modem, while it shows the connection from router to laptop to still be solid.
BTW, I must be using the classic firmware because I have not changed anything.
Thanks again.

VPN and limiting internet access

I posted this under the SMB as well but wanted to post under the VPN header at the same time.
Hello all, I am very new to VPN's and Firewalls so please forgive me for lack of terminology usage.
I am part of a company that has 20 internal PC's and 25 external sites (Convienient stores) that are all now being placed on a VPN. We purchased a ASA 5510 for the office and we are placing Linksys RV042 routers at the stores. What my question is, is that we have a few stores that need limited internet access because we have Subway restaurants there and they need to download and upload at times. What I dont want is to allow full access to the net because of the chance of outside attacks or viruses.
My question is, what can be done to set the VPN in place but only allow certain access to web addresses that we say is alright to have communication with?
Is this possible and / or what else needs to be purchased?
I thank you in advance for any help you can advise on.
JJ

The problem with the internet is, how do you define this 'certain' addresses. Is this possible for you?
There is an option in VPNs called split tunneling, which has a "Exclude specified" mode, that might help.

Icloud and satellite internet

Icloud uses up bandwidth in upload causing satellite company to reduce speed. 5gb limit is easy to reach with Photostream turned on and a Iphone 4S

Turn off the backup and Photo Stream functions then.

Configuring Admin Util to allow me to use VPN AND surf the rest of the net

I am having a problem when I connect to my work network via VPN. When I do, I can no longer connect to the rest of the Internet. I was able to do this until I started using an Express (so it has been allowed by my work network).
Here's my setup: Express is connected via Ethernet to my Verizon Fios modem. When I connect my computer directly to the Verizon modem all works fine. I have been advised that what's happening is that my Airport Express is creating a behind-the-device network that has the same exact IP address space as your office's network (when I'm connected to it via VPN).
To fix this I've been told to "Go into the Airport administration app, click on the "Internet" icon at the top of the configuration pane for your AE, then click on the "DHCP" tab, and look at what the "DHCP Range" pull-down menu is currently set to. After writing this down (in case you need to go back to it), change to one of the other options -- e.g., if it's currently set to "10.0.", change to "192.168." or "172.16". That should be enough to move you completely out of the space that your VPN is using. Save the changes, let your AE reboot, and try using the VPN and the internet at the same time again."
The problem is that the advisor is using Airport Admin Util version 5.x and I am using version 4.2. The screen he suggests is not where his is in his version. Could someone advise me of how I can do this via 4.2?

Reset your iPad and see if that fixes this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Airport + Netgear + satellite internet problems

I have just bought a netgear router and satellite internet service. I took my G5 Quad to the Apple store and had an Airport card installed.
The router is connected to the satellite modem. The card is in in the computer. I followed the instructions that came with the router, but they seem heavily weighted toward PC. For Mac, they say I must do a "manual install." The instructions also seem to assume that my computer is connected by wire to the router, but the whole point of the router is to connect wirelessly to the satellite's modem, which is in a different room from the computer.
The mac Airport Set-up Assistant quickly reaches a dead end when it finds out I am not using AirBase. The Network section of System Preferences wants to know what network I'm joining. I have only one computer at present and am not therefore setting up a network, unless computer + router = network.
I have spent the past two days searching Apple Discussions, the NetGear website, and the Hughesnet website and am now completely turned around and lost. I feel like I'm either missing a crucial piece of the puzzle or that this process requires a much higher level of expertise than I would have expected for such a common task.
If anyone can offer any suggestions on what to do next, I would be very grateful.
G5 Quad 2.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2) dial-up internet connection

You will need to connect the Netgear router to ur G5 using a cable for the initial setup.
First, set your G5 ethernet to use DHCP for IP address.
2rd, Power up the netgear router. (doesnt matter if you disconnect the WAN at this point)
3nd, Connect your G5 to one of the netgear LAN port.
4th, At this point, the IP address for your G5 ethenet should be something like 192.168.1.X.
5th, Open Safari and go to http://192.168.1.1
6th, Enter user name and password. (user name should be admin and password should be "password") *I think
7th, Once you are in the router configuration page, you should be able to change all the setting on the router to work with your interenet and wirless setup
8th, Copy down the wireless setting on a piece of paper (SSID and WPA key)
9th Once you've done setting up the router, save the setting and power down the router
10th Connect the router to your satellite modem
11th Add a new network under Airport using the inforation you've copy on step 8.
12th Enjoy the wireless internet.
Hope this help.

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!

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).

Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up. satellite Internet connection

Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
The Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a satellite Internet connection.
It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

Hello,
The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download. Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

VPN and Exchange server blocks internet access

i had some difficulty configuring Entourage to connect to an Exchange server after establishing a VPN. When the VPN was up, but the Entourage was not working, I could use Safari or any other web access without problems. After getting the Entourage account running, it was populating the folders for what seemed like hours, so i wanted to do other things while waiting. Safari and AOL would not connect. Apparently Microsoft has figured out another way to mess with you on a Mac. Anyone had this problem?

It turns out that it's the VPN that is blocking web access. The first time I configured it a couple of months ago, it connected, and I could do whatever I wanted. When I tried to use the VPN the other day, all my settings had been erased for some reason and I had to reconfigure. It connected, I got into Entourage, used it, but when I tried to go to a web site Safari wouldn't connect. I closed Entourage, no dice. Today I connected without going into Entourage and Safari wouldn't connect. Without the VPN, Safari behaves itself. I have a PC upstairs with the same VPN and it allows use of your browser.
I connected to a different VPN host and still no browser on the Mac. Can not figure out what has happened.

VPN over Satellite ISP

I am having an issue with a user connecting via a Satellite internet connection. We are using version 5.0.00.0340. The says that the connection was ended by client. However when we test on a test T1 connection it works fine.

Thank you for your responce. Amazingly after calling the ISP to make sure they are not blocking anything the user went home and was able to VPN into our network with no issues.

IpSec VPN and NAT don't work togheter on HP MSR 20 20

Hi People,
I'm getting several issues, let me explain:
I have a Router HP MSR with 2 ethernet interfaces, Eth 0/0 - WAN (186.177.159.98) and Eth 0/1 LAN (192.168.100.0 /24). I have configured a VPN site to site thru the internet, and it works really well. The other site has the subnet 10.10.10.0 and i can reache the network thru the VPN Ipsec. The issue is that the network 192.168.100.0 /24 needs to reach internet with the same public address, so I have set a basic NT configuration, when I put the nat configuration into Eth 0/0 all network 192.168.100.0 can go to internet, but the VPN goes down, when I remove the NAT from Eth 0/0 the VPN goes Up, but the network 192.168.100.0 Can't go to internet.
I'm missing something but i don't know what it is !!!!, See below the configuration.
Can anyone help me qith that, I need to send te traffic with target 10.10.10.0 thru the VPN, and all other traffic to internet, Basically I need that NAT and VPN work fine at same time.

I had a bear of a time getting the microphone working on my HP DV4, but it does work. I'll look at the set up when I get home tonight [USA-PDT].
Sorry for the picture and the "bumping"... I have asked in irc in arch and alsa channels and no luck yet... one guy from alsa said I had to wait for the alsa-driver-1.0.24 package (currently I have alsa-driver-1.0.23) but it is weird because the microphone worked some months ago...
So here is what it is under the switches tab
