Ok, just did a few minutes of reading on VPN and my Linksys befsx41...
I feel stupider than ever now.
Seems as if there isn't any 3rd party firmware for this model, a few betas, but not a bunch of 3rd party stuff.
The one kicker I did notice is that if Asylum and I have a tunnel between us, we would not have internet access??? Does this make sense?
From TomsNetworking:
"Is it possible to configure my PC to websurf directly to the Internet while at the same time getting email via a VPN?
This configuration is commonly referred to as split tunneling. If the PC is running a VPN client, it can usually be accomplished by changing TCP/IP gateway settings and changing the routing table on the PC.
However, if a router is terminating the VPN tunnel, you will not be able to establish a direct Internet connection unless the router supports split tunneling.
Be aware that having one computer simultaneously connected to secure and unsecured networks can create a security hazard, especially if ports are opened to the PC or it is placed in the router DMZ." |
