Hi, I need a switch that has L2TP vpn client support
But at the same time, I need to make 16-20 different L2TP vpn clients per port
So each port is assigned to dedicated vpn client to communicate.
I know its strange setup but I need to offload vpn client from Windows to Switch and each client MUST connect different VPN end point
I am planning to run 16-20 dedicated VPN clients and each client is associated with each port on switch
Traffic wont be heavy and wont exceed 10mbps.
Although its very minimal traffic, If I can limit this to 10mbps, it will be even better
I am thinking about CRS326-24G-2S+RM to achieve this goal but not sure if its right device.
So summary, my only requirement is each port to each VPN client
I have to store/run about 16-20 computers in one secure location
and those computer needs to connect different VPN (located all around world)
Currently, I am running esxi host with 16-20 openwrt vm and each openwrt vm connects to those VPN.
I am tired of running esxi host and want to control everything in router/switch
So basically you don’t need a switch per se, you need a device that has at least 20 ports and can handle L2TP.
If the 10 Mbit/s is a total traffic, not a per-port one, the CRS326-24G-2S+ may be sufficient for the purpose, but not if the L2TP should be IPsec encrypted - although this switch seems to have the most powerful CPU of all switches so far, it does not support encryption in hardware, so you may have to connect it to a router that does (a hAP ac² should give you at least 50 Mbit/s over L2TP/IPsec).
semi-related: OP please keep in mind that you are only able to have 1 tunnel coming from/to the same pairing of public IP’s due to it using protocols with no ports, this means you can have the vpn aggregator with multiple connections but if you need 2 l2tp clients coming off the same IP then looking into sstp(if on os6) or Wireguard(if on os 7) would be a better solution?
