[App_rpt-users] VPN or other option?

[Paul J. Agamata]

I'm one of the engineers for Hawaii CERT/ACS.  Amateur Radio plays a real big part in our command and control efforts here in Hawaii as we are part of a primary response team.  I have put Cradlepoint Routers in place that can drive a multitude of different activities and handle most any type of VPN connectivity into City/County secure enterprises.  We were very transparent with the different with the County of Hawaii in wanting to do this so the IT Department for the County is supportive because they understand the design.  We have successfully deployed these routers under LAN/WAN, WiFI, Exceed Satellite Internet, private point-to-point microwave as well as many others.  You can control traffic with a significant amount of integrity.  Local users can also use it's WIFI capabilities to access critical data services using their SmartPhones or Tablets.  We use these routers to Egress/Ingress our DMR Networks, Asterisk, VOIP point-to-point (Dial Tone) and many others to say the least.

Best of all, these Cradlepoint MBR1200B's are very inexpensive.

Regards,
Paul

>> You could do this with OpenVPN. Portable node would have to be a client and a server at your QTH like you mentioned. OpenVPN would have to be setup in bridged mode on the server so that your network can send traffic back to the VPN client. It's very feasible but will take some work - most of it on the QTH side.
