Don’t Want to Change Your Existing Office Network?
Keep your current office network, and simply put a Vigor Router in your LAN to work as VPN server.
1. Connect Vigor Router’s WAN port to DMZ port on your company gateway router (or setup port forwarding for VPN to pass to Vigor Router, e,g., port 443 for SSL VPN).
2. Download Smart VPN Client on your device. Select VPN type, and either add your office network to “more route” or enable Change Default Route.
3. Done! Start working from home!
It works for LAN-to-LAN VPN as well! See more at Single-Arm VPN
Solve NAT Problems with DrayTek VPN Matcher
VPN Server Behind NAT Made Easy
Some ISPs assign private IP addresses for a multi-site company, and most 4G providers offer private IP, too.
VPN Server with private IP behind NAT makes branches unable to establish a LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnel.
To overcome the limitations, register all your VPN Vigor Routers to DrayTek VPN Matcher, then VPN Matcher will help exchanging the connection information between VPN Server and branches.
With the connection information, VPN tunnel can be established successfully.
