SoftEther Site to Site VPN or Draytek
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2018 10:16 am
hi
We currently run a LAN to LAN permanent link between two Draytek Routers. It's been working fine for sometime but Windows file transfers are slow (1 MB/S) despite fast internet services at both ends.
I've tried a number of things to improve this but am considering SoftEther.
So my queries are;
a) Is there likely to be an improved site to site file transfer speed over the Drayteks?
b) To minimise reworking the existing network set up I want to retain 192.168.1 and 192.168.5 respectively and I think I therefore need the SoftEther Layer 3 solution. The guides are warning that one needs to be an IP routing specialist to set this up correctly. Is it true that I need Layer 3 and is it that difficult?
Many thanks,
