How do I connect two locations with a VPN?

How do I connect two locations with a VPN?

To verify the settings needed for your VPN Tunnel follow the steps below.

1. Access the router’s web-based setup page.
2. Click Status then Gateway and take note of the Internet/WAN IP address.
3. Click Status then Local Network and take note of the IP Address.
4. Make sure the Local IP Address of the two routers are different.

Can subnets overlap?

By design, subnets should not overlap. In real networks, if two subnets overlap, when a router needs to send a packet to an IP address inside that range of overlapped addresses, the router may forward the packet to the wrong subnet.

How do I connect to a VPN server?

What does overlapping IP addresses mean?

An overlapping IP address is an IP address that is assigned to more than one device or logical unit, such as an event source type, on a network. The acquisition has a similar network structure that results in the same IP address being used for different log sources in each company.

How to access multiple subnets through the same VPN tunnel?

Suppose there is already a LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnel established between the local network and one of the LAN subnets on the remote router, to access a second LAN subnet via the same VPN tunnel, we only need to add another remote network IP and Mask in the VPN profile.

Can a VPN be connected to multiple locations?

I have considered scripting the connection and scanning process but it seems like network connectivity to all locations simultaneously is a superior solution. All locations have the same internal subnet (which I can’t control) and many locations have dynamic IP addresses.

Do you need the same subnet for two locations?

We need the same subnet (192.168.100.0/24) to span two locations, and for the servers to see the clients properly (e.g. the client IP is represented to the server as it is now, when everything is in one physical location). I have heard that MPLS and/or L2 servers from a telco may be able to solve for this, but I do not know exactly how.

How can I connect two different locations through our ISP?

To get a VPN from your ISP, ask for a “IP VPN” or “L3VPN” according to RFC2547/RFC4364. Feel free to throw in “MPLS” in the same sentence. They will often be able to provide you your VPN connectivity over a VLAN on the same physical circuits over which you purchase your Internet connectivity.
