Pertino - Is Anyone Successfully Using Any Version Above 510 with DNS/AD Connect?

@scottalanmiller I understand that things have changed with the cradlepoint acquisition but the release of the gateway was prior to that.
That may be so - but the point is the sale people are selling you something that you want - even though it's not really how their product is meant to work. It's like Dell doing a DPACK and then selling you a SAN for one VM host. Will it work - it should.
-
@scottalanmiller Well, I am saying prior to it being made public. I do see your point. In terms of when everyone else knew about it. I was dealing with pertino devs/engineers in trailing a year ago.
-
@scottalanmiller DNS bug is in Pertino because it prevents the dynamic updates of all host records on my DNS servers.

In the post 510 client? That would be a real bug, yes.
-
@scottalanmiller I haven't even gotten to a point where I can say that DNS does or does not work across the gateway because I can't even get any traffic to traverse the gateway. It gets there then stops.
-
In the years that we used Pertino, we never experienced a DNS or AD problem. Even without the AD Connector, it worked fine.
-
@scottalanmiller Right but you weren't using it when 520 came out.
-
-
Oh I had issues intermittently with Pertino.
Strange DNS resolution issues with websites for starters. Even 2015/2014.
-
So in summary-
Pertino 520+ builds break my DNS when installed on my DNS servers
Pertino gateway does not allow any pertino network traffic to pass through it in my experience. I have tried Ubuntu Server 14.04.3, Ubuntu Server 15.10 and CentOS 7 all with Pertino builds 510, 520, 526 and 528. -

It has been at the top of the thread. It is my OP.
-
Funny, someone at CradlePoint spiced up my post about Pertino being rubbish
Then they realised and took the spice up away.

Anyone have experience with privatetunnel?

Edit - Looks like top tier is 10 devices. NM, if that is the case.

For what you want, why not use a traditional VPN?
-
@scottalanmiller I was asking for suggestions on traditional VPN several posts up but everyone kept telling me to use ZT LOL. For a "traditional" VPN, do you have suggestions? I like the connection/client running as a service feature of pertino and ZT that enables to run prior to user login.
-
I have a webex with Pertino tomorrow to discuss my issues with the engineers. We will see how that goes. I am still interested in traditional VPN suggestions.
-
I know this isn't traditional but it still piqued my interest. Has anyone heard of Pritunl?
-
Traditional VPN.
Buy hardware devices at each location for IP_SEC gateway connectivity.
Windows client VPN device to server.
-
@Breffni-Potter I understand what traditional VPN is. I want to know if someone has a recommendation as to which "brand" is good and/or which to avoid.
