What is a VPN Router?
A VPN router is a router that is designed to support Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity. Users can connect to their network from distant locations as if they were physically present on-site using a VPN, which is a secure and private connection. Multiple devices can be connected to a VPN at once using a VPN router, which has built-in VPN functionality. Remote workers and telecommuters can securely access their office network using a VPN router, ensuring the security of sensitive data. Additionally, the VPN router enables companies to safely link numerous branches or distant locations into a single network, improving collaboration and communication.

CHEAP BUT WORKS GOOD
Alexander –
I don’t know why you would buy this unless you want to have router/firewall, 16-port switch and PoE in one device. There is nothing special about it. The only reason why I bought it is exactly that – I don’t have much room in my OnQ box, so I wanted to have everything in one single box, pretty much. I made aluminum hooks to hang it to the walls and everything worked out nicely.Perf is okay. You still need a license for some of the advanced features, but they did relax the requirement after the hilarious launch. Firmware is bad – two days of uptime and all links are showing down, yet devices on these links operate properly; static DHCP assignments are not showing in the list of devices or show with “dynamic” type, yet get proper IPs. So it kind of works, but monitoring and troubleshooting is not easy. Luckily, in my home environment I can just set it once and forget, as long as it runs properly.No LACP? Is this a joke? 250-series switches support it and this “half a grand” router doesn’t? Yeah, that’s it, only static trunk.Also, it takes forever to boot, like 2 and a half minutes. To be honest I think I can get to a Win Server 2016 Hyper-V VM running on the laptop from the cold boot faster than power LED stops flashing on this thing. It’s just ridiculous. This is the problem I’m noticing across entire range of Cisco SMB devices though, starting from switches to access points… So if you measure availability KPI – you’d better get multiple of these and setup redundancy to achieve those five-9’s, which is ~5 min a year of downtime and you will easily go beyond that after a single reboot, if the rest of the infra is PoE powered from this, as switches and APs will take another 2 minutes to boot as well…Finally, I think this device will be outdated pretty soon: no multi-gig, only at/af PoE, etc. There are already APs on the market that require 802.3bt PoE for proper operation. So you may want to wait a little bit for the refresh.
