When I was going through a variety of routers before I ended up with the EdgeRouter Lite, I found that my connection to my work VPN would drop several times a day which became quite annoying.The connection was a standard Cisco IPSec VPN connection using the built in Mac VPN Client.
Creating a VPN server on an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite running EdgeOS is easy! In this blog post, I set up an L2TP over IPsec VPN server. My setup. To understand the configuration you should first know my setup. I have an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite with 3 ports. The port configuration: eth0 - My FTTH connection eth0.4 - VLAN4 (Internet) eth0.6 set vpn l2tp remote-access dns-servers server-1 8.8.8.8 set vpn l2tp remote-access dns-servers server-2 4.2.2.2 STEP 5: Setting Pre-shared Secret set vpn l2tp remote-access ipsec-settings OpenVPN Server Setup. Now it's time to set up the OpenVPN server on the ERL. This is done by creating a new interface. You'll also need a new IPv4 subnet for the VPN; I use 192.168.200./24 here. You'll also need to make decisions about which port to use, whether to use tcp or udp, which routes to push, etc. Full disclosure: I know little to nothing about VPN. I have a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite set up as the router on a small 6 PC Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials network. The router is in default configuration and provides DHCP services to the network clients and little else. The EdgeRouter will be configured to issue DHCP assigned IP addresses in the 192.168.1./24 range. The Basic Setup wizard will automatically configure the LAN DHCP server. See the Beginners Guide to EdgeRouter article for more information. The EdgeRouter forwards the DNS request from the client to a public DNS server. EdgeOS includes a DNS forwarding service based on dnsmasq that is consulted when clients use the EdgeRouter as a DNS server. The dnsmasq service runs in the background and will forward all client DNS queries to the specified DNS server(s). set vpn l2tp remote-access dns-servers server-2 4.2.2.2 set vpn l2tp remote-access ipsec-settings authentication mode pre-shared-secret EdgeRouter 4 and 6 Unboxing and Setup - Duration: 21:30.
VLAN tagging is a useful feature on a router with only a few physical ports. Connecting the EdgeRouter Lite to an 802.1Q capable switch enables it to be the center of a much larger and more complex network. Other options in the Service menu include DNS Forwarding and Dynamic DNS (DDNS), as well as configuring a PPPoE server. VPN
I mentioned earlier that a CNAME entry for my VPN server caused a problem and that is because if I'm connecting from inside my firewall (yes, I know it isn't needed), the client tries to go to the external IP address. By using an A DNS entry and doing the following on the EdgeRouter Lite: When I was going through a variety of routers before I ended up with the EdgeRouter Lite, I found that my connection to my work VPN would drop several times a day which became quite annoying.The connection was a standard Cisco IPSec VPN connection using the built in Mac VPN Client. I have a Synology DS916+ connected to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite 3. I am interested in setting up a home VPN server so I can connect to my internal network resources (like my DIskStation) from my mobile phone (iOS) or tablet (Android) when I'm not at home.

The planned follow up to the Ubiquiti UniFi AP deployment/RaspberryPi controller post about running an ELK stack on the controller is on hold; there are no preexisting binaries for the ARM platform and a successful compile from source has eluded me so far. So instead we're going to walk through setting up an L2TP/IPSEC VPN up on Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter line of routers. EdgeRouter L2TP IPSec Server Setup - Duration: 8:15. Willie Howe 59,893 views.
