Cisco 877 as a VPN server?
- by Massimo
I have a Cisco 877 router which connects my network to the Internet using an ADSL line, a single public IP address and NAT; the IOS version is 15.
Everything is working ok, but I'd like to configure this router to be a VPN server, to be able to connect to the network from the outside.
I've tried looking for documentation, but everything I can find is related to having the 877 act as a VPN client, or to site-to-site VPNs; I can't find anything about letting single remote computers access the internal network, which is something I can do quite easily using Windows' RRAS or ISA Server.
Can the Cisco 877 act as a VPN server for remote client computers? (Looks like it should, but just to be sure...)
Which type of VPNs does it support? Do they require some special software on the client machines, or can they be used by standard out-of-the-box Windows computers?
And, finally: how to set up this?
