Here is the additional log info:

For site to site I prefer IPSec. OpenVPN is good but for static links I like IPSec better.

Pertino is a full mesh so you want every single device on the mesh. Very different approach.

How many devices do you have?

this is for a $300 device, and a company that only has 7 tunnels (and won't hit 20 for a couple years).

Have you looked at the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite instead? Only $99 and I would expect it to handle way more than 20 IPsec tunnels.

I mentioned the edge router 8 up there. I've never messed with one so i was looking for hands on from somebody.

I have 10 (may be one more I lost track) of the Ubiquiti EdgeMax LITE (ERL) in production. I only use OpenVPN tunnels at the moment because they are easier to work with and I am not approaching the bandwidth limit of OpenVPN on the hardware (~10-14mbps encrypted). Not a single site I have an ERL installed at has a pipe that can push out more then 10mbps, so I will never have a problem with this for now. I do have one IPSEC tunnel up to a home user that I have not sent a new router yet and it has no issues either.

The ERL I have at my home office has a tunnel to every single one of the remote ERL at my clients and it never blinks.

Using IPSEC you can get throughput in the 100+mbps range with the ERL. The difference between IPSEC and OpenVPN is that the IPSEC encryption can be offloaded to hardware while the OpenVPN encryption all has to be done on the processor.

A.J. I'm not trying to be mean but why are you constantly plugging your website here instead of just posting your review on ML. It kind of defeats the purpose of the review section. I fully understand that your site is new but can you find a different way of plugging your site? To me its unprofessional to go on a site and say hey go to mine, i have all of these reviews and so on.

Plugging his writing is fine. There is even a self promotion category just for that. A review in the water closet isn't the best taxonomy but I feel that that is all.

Thanks Scott.

how do they compare to the Ubiquiti?

I assume that there is no means of using DA with Macs, for example?

Not at present. You can, however, use the same RAS servers for VPN. Perhaps if/when Macs gain more traction in the mainstream business market, we'll see that shift.

We use an international blocking trunk provider. It's great peace of mind.

@scottalanmiller greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, that's what i'm looking for, a bunch of experts willing to help and share their knowledge with other people,
really people will appreciate your work, thanks

Whatever happened to doing these discussion rooms?

@scottalanmiller yeah those are all windows.except my MacBookPro. I've debating putting it on my PBX in a Flash box so i can manage it without first jumping on a server or VPN.

If you do, use PIAF on RHEL 6. RHEL 5 isn't playing nice with Pertino yet.

It is 6.4, thanks for the warning.
