Internet in DVC Properties

[scottb8888]

From previous trips I know about the service in the rooms. My office now uses VPN's and I am wondering if DVC supports these? Wondering if they support GRE or IPSec Tunnels?

I'm at OKW right now and have used Hotspot Shield on my MacBook Pro with no problems. Other than that I can't tell you much as I'm not familiar at all with the various parameters.

Unless somethings changed I had no issues using IPSec and the Cisco VPN client.

No on the GRE tunnels, yes on the IPSec Tunnels (with a caveat.)

You can't use native IPSec Tunnels, because your address will be NATed. The IP space is out of RFC 1918 (I want to say 10/8, but don't quote me on that.)

But most IPSec implementations really setup a IPSec in a Tunnel, so your address can be NATed (that is how Cisco works.) So it depends who's IPSec you are using.

Most of the new VPN clients work without an issue like Cisco AnyConnect or OpenVPN, because these aren't either GRE or IPSec Tunnels, they are SSL based tunnels.

So it depends...

Maybe you should change your screen name to "Rocket Scientist". I have NO idea what you said, but you da man!***

At HHI now and GRE tunnels don't work. Bummer

Doesn't surprise me. I would ask my IT staff if they have a clientless/browser "VPN" or an SSL. Since both of these look like "web traffic" they will typically work without an issue.

I say typically because some places I've been have a "Transparent" proxy. Which wasn't totally transparent... more like translucent.

more complicated. I actually have a Cisco 831 router down here trying to talk to the 871 back in the home office. Over that 831 I was running a phone off our PBX which requires a VPN in a remote location. Cisco anywhere, is a package that works on the hub end, and to the best of my knowledge, is not router to router??

I can't remember what proxy/VPN client we use but it reroutes my access through our local HQ servers and IP addresses. It works at Disney just fine.

Of course, not saying who it is doesn't help much I suppose.
