Hi Vigor owners, any of you use the VPN server on the 2130? How fast is it using 3DES or AES128?

My friend thinking of getting one for the office. Currently he has an Asus n56u but VPN from him to his supplier's VPN server is problematic. i.e.: doesn't really work from what he tells me. Now he needs incoming VPN but not a dedicated box or server so that's why I suggested to him the Vigor. Only 2 or 3 person needs to use at any one time.

Anyway he's gonna give me the n56u if I can get something working for him. :-)

PS: does the Asus n56u have a VPN server built-in?

Exactly what we want to do also sans the gaming part. :-) What are the ping times like with the VPN? What encryption do you set for the connection? The speed I was asking about is how fast it takes, for example, to copy a file from your friend's PC to yours. Because the encryption will slow things down for sure. If you got time, maybe you can just copy a file for me and see how long it takes. Thanks in advance.

Once he's connected to your VPN. If he's got File Sharing on, you should be able to see him in My Networks. Just drag and drop as usual after that. Thanks, man.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

My IPv6 config for my Mikrotik RB750GL as requested.

175.139.x.x is current IP address.
2002:XXXX:XXXX:1::1 is the IPv6 address calculated based on the above IP. Just convert to hex.
This needs to be updated every time you get an IP from UniFi. On my router, I run a script to update it automatically whenever the IPv4 address changes. Can you do schedule scripts on the 2130n?

IPv6 DNS from OpenDNS: 2620::ccd::2 and 2620::ccc::2

As you can see, there're not that many things to set. Most of the settings goes into IPv6 >> WAN General Setup on the 2130n. Not sure about the route. You'll need to create a route to 192.88.99.1 which is the IPv6 any cast relay.

Another option is to try Hurricane Electric. They have a forum there which might be helpful.

Once your router is set up and is advertising the IPv6 subnet, your PCs should pick it up automatically. I'm using OS X and I think Vista and 7 should work with no configuration on your part. You might need to install something for XP.

If you use 6to4 anycast relay, you get assigned a /48 which means you have 65536 /64 subnets at your disposal. You can assign an IPv6 address to everything in your house including the ants.

Have fun. Looking forward to seeing your IPv6 tag.

ps: I had probs with the browser preferring to connect to LYN with IPv4 instead of IPv6. Let me know if you encounter this.

No probs but I think your config is not right. Are you using the 6to4 relay?

Let's say you're using 6to4 relay.
And your UniFi IPv4 address is: 175.139.160.5
Your IPv6 address prefix is always: 2002:AF8B:A005:1::
The AF8B:A005 part is obtained from 175.139.160.5 = AF.8B.A0.05 (dec to hex for each quad)
This IPv6 address is always reserved for this particular IPv4 based on the simple formula above.
The gateway for 6to4 is always 192.88.99.1.

Hope that helps. I haven't had time to look at the 2130n web config. When I do, I'll see if I can work it out.

Anyway if it works, try and ping Facebook. Their IPv6 address is:

www.v6.facebook.com
2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3

On a Mac, I use ping6 instead of ping, not sure about Windows. You're in Windows right?

Once you have it working (including IPv6 DNS), you should be able to browse as usual to www.v6.facebook.com.
www.v6.facebook.com will not work if you're still on IPv4.

Don't test on forum.lowyat.net because it's dual-stacked, i.e.: running both IPv4 and IPv6, so you can't tell easily if you're on one or the other.

It's a service, run by volunteers and free. IETF says it's to ease the transition of IP to IPv6. It's easy to setup but no so reliable because the 6to4 relays come and go. Free mah.

And sorry for not coming back to you earlier. I just had a better look at the 2130n simulator and it doesn't support 6to4 relay but it does support tunnelbrokers such as Hurricane Electric, he.net. I think you use the option TSPC. Sign up for a HE account first. Tunnelbrokers such as HE use 6in4 and is actually more reliable than 6to4 relays since it's managed by an actual company which in the case of Hurricane Electric, decided to make it free. Actually quite a few 6to4 relays also belong to he.net.

No probs, me too, just want to try only. There's really no benefit right now to use IPv6. If anything it's a bit slower since it has to go through multiple relays.

Hi nat, which model Mikrotik do you have? I'll be interested to take it off you. Let me know the details and best price please.
