Cheap VPN Client Hardware

May 18, 2006 1 Replies

I use VPN client software to talk to the office from my home. Is there a resonably priced router out there that can act as a VPN client and route things to the office from my local lan so that I do not have to have each machine on my LAN use the VPN software. Cisco has a hardware client which costs $700. I can by a SOHO VPN router for $50 but it cannot act as a client. This seems like a simple feature to add to the existing VPN software which is in such a box. Is there a box out there that can do that? (And why does the Cisco box cost so much?)



Draytek vigor routers are worth a look. Depends what sort of client you are using now. Cisco costs so much because they are the market leaders and get away with it, too many people buy cisco just because they always have. simon
