VPN and printing
-
I have a CradlePoint MBR1200 business class router. I know I can add IPsec Policy, but not sure if that means it is an Endpoint.

IPSec Policy - I'm not familiar with this wording - but if it means VPN, OK. Does CradlePoint have a VPN client for the end user? Unless more recent Windows include it, Windows doesn't include an IPSec VPN client.

Windows 7 and up do, I configure ours manually but you can also configure it with a group policy.

@Dashrender according to the CradlePoint PDF:
The high-performance MBR1200 has the capability to create, manage, and terminate multiple IPSec VPN sessions. It provides up to five concurrent sessions, supporting transfer and tunnel modes and several Hash and Cipher algorithms.
And nope, no client software.

Well, looks like you can create a VPN termination point on the CradlePoint, then setup a VPN connection on the users home computer (assuming they have Windows 7 or newer), then map the printer, and you should be good.

@Dashrender Thanks...now to see if they have a MBR1200B or a MBR1200...the B shows support for VPN.
-
Does the MBR1200 not support IPSec?
-
@Dashrender yes, but the updated version looks easier to use. Will find out when I get on site.
-
If the NON B supports IPSec, Then why would you need a the B version, IPSec usually provides everything you need for VPN.

@Dashrender Hell I don't know...swimming in unknown waters here...but glad to have you guys on the shore if I need assistance.
