Anyone have a recommendation on a good VPN router? Before I go diving into what looks decent, I'm open to suggestions. Dealt with lots of the Linksys E routers before, wondering if D-Link or Netgear perhaps have anything on par or better. Price range is $100-$200 each (needing two). Will be setup 300+ miles away connecting two offices with a Server 2008 R2 thrown into the mix. Very mild traffic as there will only be 3-5 machines using the connection tops.
Unsure of which VPN protocol I'm going to be using, also open to suggestions there as well. Any downside to using L2TP/IPSec over PPTP. I've also had to use RADIUS a few times, but was "informed" by someone that RADIUS transmit authentication in plain text , please tell me they were full of it
