VPN on a specific network

<< < (3/3)

LGNilsson:
The Almond+ will be able to run its own VPN server and technically I guess it should be possible to route one of the wireless networks via the VPN, but it's not something we've tested and it'd be something you'd have to play with using OpenWRT. You might want to consider asking this question over on the OpenWRT forums, as I have a feeling that they can offer you a lot more insight on how to do this, if it's possible.

As far as VPN performance is concerned, the Almond+ has a comparatively fast processor to most other routers out there today, especially the ones based on MIPS technology and you should see a significant performance increase when running VPN on the Almond+ compared to MIPS based routers.

Yup;this will give you many possibilities with the Almond +

Here I do a point to point VPN IPSec between two dd-wrt boxes (inside networks behind other firewalls) and utilize per application/box ssh tunneling for other stuff on the outside networks.

Here is the config that I am planning.

Multiple SSID/Network

    Guest
        Captive Portal with sponsership from authorized user and WPA2 authentication

     Work
          Secure SSID with VPN to corp network as well as access to lan resources like printer. WPA2 authentication to Wireless using Google Apps or OATH creds

     Home
          Secure SSID with VPN using StrongVPN to security from ISP snooping using DNSCrypt to connecto to OpenDNS for DNS security and Filtering per user,  WPA2 Security using Google Apps/OATH authentication to network

      Entertainment
             Separate Secure SSID using WPS2-PSK for devices like XBox, WII, PlayStation, AppleTV, GoogleTV, Tivo/DVR.

     Home Automation/Device Network
              This would be for devices like WiFi enabled home automation devices, wireless printers, cameras

USB Storage for Video/Audo Streaming, Security Cameras, File Storage, and Device Backup.

USB Printer Support

Ability to have VPN support for different SSID/Networks.
   Work Traffic goes to work,  Home and Work Internet Traffic goes to StrongVPN, Entertainment and Guest Traffic would go directly to the internet, and Device Traffic would go through Strong VPN.  All the while you have a single Hub for Home Automation the communicates with the cloud for web and smartphone access to the router/home automation.

I am not fully sure how to make it all work yet but I have already started the planning.
