Pros Works when VPN client is behind a NAT Firewall with a dynamic IP address.
Cons Can't set time. Logging is primitive.
Recommended it? Yes

I have a requirement that when I am traveling on the road I can access my home network remotely. This could be either from a direct internet connection or from behind a NAT box. For example, I can modem dial up to Earthlink from my hotel room and then get a VPN connection (a direct internet... Read full review »

Pros Quality, Firewall
Cons Price
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased this to replace an Intel hub and so far it has been fantastic. The first big improvement was in my internet bill. The company I was using charged for each point of entry (4 needed with the Intel) but with this Linksys it is a single point of entry.

Pros - IPSec Co-processor - SNMP Support - DHCP Server - Logging - Routing (Static, RIP)
Cons - Requires IE for web utility to fully work
Recommended it? Yes

This is for the BEFVP41 VPN router. Seems most of these 'reviews' apply to the basic router. This router was a replacement for a Network Everywhere (Linksys) Basic Broadband Router. Linksys has alway had excellent quality and reliability. Most of my personal network is built and Linksys and I have... Read full review »

Pros Good general router for creating perminate vpn tunnels
Cons no vpn client software included.
Recommended it? No

I've done a lot of research on this unit. I bought it with the idea that I would set it up for roaming users and its not that it cant do that but it doesnt do that well. If you want to setup the vpn in windows without extra software it is possible but extremely difficult. I was not able to make it... Read full review »

Pros Cheap, easy to use, 70 VPN tunnels.
Cons Current firmware unavailable for download, have to obtain from tech support. Remote...
Recommended it? Yes

This device is a great low-cost router/vpn unit. It provides for all of the standard router/gateway features such as NAT, DHCP Server, and port forwarding/filtering. It is also relatively easy to setup as a VPN connector. The vpn features use IPSec and require at least 1 end of the tunnel to have a... Read full review »
