site-to-site VPN

Stefano Cherubini

You have been asked to create a site-to-site VPN connection with another company that will be involved in a large project with yours.

Knowing that they do not have a UTM, what is the best option for a site-to-site VPN protocol between two different devices?

PPTP
L2TP
SSL
IPsec

    Hi,

    the most common way IPSec which is supported by the most devices.

    But you'll have to check out the supported Tunneltypes of the other device.

    Ciao Stefano, Hallo Ralf - welcome to the UTM Community!

    Agreed with Ralf that IPsec is almost universally available.  Configuring an SSL VPN site-to-site with something other than two UTMs is very difficult and I know of no good set of instructions to make it work.

    The UTM cannot be a client for L2TP/IPsec or PPTP as those are only available in Remote Access.  Some consumer routers are able to act as a client and might be able to connect to the UTM, but it would require a static route to allow people behind the UTM to connect through the tunnel to devices in the other network.

    Which Sophos appliance will you be using on your side?

    Cheers - Bob
