JimUrch Posted April 5, 2007 CID Share Posted April 5, 2007 Has anyone setup a vpn with hughes.net HN7000s. I have a static IP but I have never setup a vpn and am having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 6, 2007 CID Share Posted April 6, 2007 That is a good question.. It could be possible that Hughes is preventing VPN traffic on their network.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted April 6, 2007 CID Share Posted April 6, 2007 They aren't preventing it, the laws of physics are. VPN tunneling requires a lot of traffic, and with 600ms plus latency, you get a traffic jam effect. Some VPNs work better than others. SSH VPN connections work great. Almost as good a regular traffic. SSL VPNs are also successfull. However, if you are using an IPSEC VPN, you are pretty much screwed. The heavy traffic and latency just don't work well over satellite. This isn't to say that IPSEC won't work over sat, but you would need configuation adjustments on the server side. Probably increaing the TTL values and such. Hughes also sells a VPN accelerator that is supposed to help, but I've never heard of anyone using it.
