#EDGEROUTER X VPN PC#

If Wireguard becomes a first-class citizen on EdgeRouter like the direction it's going on pfSense I'll still end up with a mix of types.

#EDGEROUTER X VPN PC#

When your EdgeRouter is ready to start accepting connections,įor IPsec based VPNs, you can certainly have Fritz forward the 500/udp and 4500/udpįor Wireguard, Fritz can forward 51820/udpįor me that would be a PC or VM rather that the EdgeRouter, but I don't current accept WG connections from the Internet. (However if i had need of multiple WiiFi access points I might pair EdgeRouter with an xDSL modem and retire the Fritz.) Something that is useful in any case is having handy is the list of other VPN endpoints and what type of VPN they are using.ĮdgeRouter does not have to be your main router, especially if the incoming broadband is xDSL, and like you I continue to use the Fritz for Wi-Fi. What you want to do is possible but involves some learning as you go.įrom my own experience I couldn't apply everything all at once and needed to progressively add configuration for each use case. I don't think I'll be able to give step by step instructions. Is having two routers a problem? I'm still going to have one or other do port forwarding, should I leave that on the Fritz or basically pass all my routing requirements over to the EdgeRouter? Seems reasonable as they all have web interfaces. Or how can I tell it to ask the Fritz for those? But does it need to be my main router, handle DHCP and DNS for example. The simple way is just to have the EdgeRouter do my VPN. The plan is for all of my LAN to run through this one switch, the older smaller one will be retired and the FritzBox relocated. The FritzBox is known to have a slow processor and it can't do decent VPN speeds, thus the EdgeRouter.īetween the Fritz and an Ethernet five port hub/switch I have about six or seven LAN cables.Īlong with the EdgeRouter I've bought a new Ethernet 'smart' switch (TP-Link). Obvs its connected to the POTS for my FTTC. Whatever happens I need that for my WiFi, VoIP and DECT. I need a couple of clues / advice as to the best way to set this up and integrate it into my LAN. If it crashes I will be able to fix it.Finally I got around to buying an EdgeRouter X after folk here suggested it would speed up my VPN connections.
