Spnet over VPN via linksys routers flashed with DD-WRT
« on: November 12, 2010, 03:29:14 PM »
I've had a site up for 2 years running over a VPN using the default linksys firmware but the other day the IT guy flashed the routers with DD-WRT and now SPNET is dead in the water.
I can ping the opposite system from both sides of the VPN, and IT tool works across.  He has double  checked all of his configurations and says it should be working.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and if so how did you fix it.

I just ran into this problem yesterday and the IT guy was using DD-WRT. The solution... two Cisco routers with VPN tunnels between them.

haha, Thanks Mark.
Judging from the fact everything was working fine the last 2 years i had a feeling it was the DD-WRT.
I'm a little familiar with it and i've heard VOIP and openVPN do not go together very well.

I have no idea what was causing the problem, but the router was blocking the ports for the audio. We could make calls between systems, but there was no audio.
