IPSEC VPN Throttled!!! in TekSavvy http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20311941 en Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:03:32 EDT Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:03:32 EDT Re: IPSEC VPN Throttled!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20313247 ssherwood : Its actually a "roll-your-own" firewall. We purchased a new server and put in plenty of network interfaces. Its really overkill for a standard firewall, but we plan to implement traffic management for our LAN on it.

We're currently evaluating several platforms, but we're leaning towards the pfSense solution as it has some killer add-in packages, and the price is certainly right! (we're a not-for-profit Arts organization...)

I've also looked at Untagled and Vyatta... both excellent products with free options.

I wonder if Juniper Networks knows Ellacoya's toys are playing dirty with its
products.

Luckily for me, I'm testing a new firewall which supports OpenVPN which apparently is not currently throttled.
OpenVPN is what has saved me many times lately as well.. What firewall are you using which supports OpenVPN?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20312943 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:38:17 EDT Re: IPSEC VPN Throttled!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20312863 Guspaz : You'd have much more luck writing Deadpool than your MP.

I'm not sure if they bought the technology or not as I hadn't encountered one of these before working for the folks I do now.

At any rate - it uses standard IPSEC VPN - you can use a client made by them as well, but I'm using an endpoint-to-endpoint solution (firewall to firewall).

I will of course write my MP and the CRTC about this, but I can't believe they have implemented something which impacts business users this way!

I've just had the most annoying time trying to log into my work machines to deal with an ongoing DDoS situation, only to find that my usual IPSEC VPN tunnel (PFSense --> Netscreen) wouldn't allow enough throughput to use remote desktop software...
PM Deadpool about it.

Along with OpenVPN, PPTP and Nortel's IPSEC implementation reportedly work, if you have those options available.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20312252 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:51:06 EDT Re: IPSEC VPN Throttled!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20312186 Turbinator : Complain to CRTC and your local MP and MPP, explaining this issue.

How can Bell or any other carrier for that matter defend this practice when it has such a severe impact on its end users? This situation could very easily cost businesses plenty of time and money when their IT staff can't log in remotely from their home to deal with emergency problems!

This is completely unacceptable! GRRRRR!!!!!
