Draytek VPN behind BTInfinity was created by tribz
Has anyone done this at all? One of our branch offices is getting Infinity next week. We use Draytek 2820's to VPN them all together and this site has a 2830.

From googling around, its a case of disabling WAN1 (ADSL) & WAN3 (3G) and then on WAN2 setting it up as a PPPoE connection with the username and password of the BT service. How does this work when the Infinity box in front of it will be connected already using these details?

So I assume one of the 4 port connections on the Draytek would feed into the LAN and then the WAN2 port would go into one of the 4 port connections on the Infinity box.

Thanks!

BT box is just a VDSL modem (in BT's configuration) so doesn't do routing or PPPoE and only has one Ethernet connector that is active and one that is blanked off.

That's what I have at one client's site (and soon at mine too!)

My only concern with the VPN, is that PPTP seems quite unreliable - IPSEC is stable :)

Not saying that PPTP is dead but we always use L2TP/IPSec for our site to site VPNs and have had no issues for years.
I think the DT have a hardware chip to deal with Encryption but with PPTP it is done in software....maybe wrong on that one !
The big problem i am finding is that DT 2820/2830 do not have enough throughput for 50Mbps+ so we are losing some of bandwidth to poor FW throughput or routing.
