A VPN enables you to link remote offices and branch offices back to HQ or home-based/mobile teleworkers back to your office.N/AN/AThe Vigor 2866 is an ideal VPN router with 300 Mbps standard IPsec VPN throughput and up to 50 concurrently active VPN tunnels.N/AN/AIPsec Hardware Acceleration boosts performance up to 800 Mbps for 16 VPN tunnels allowing securely encrypted tunnels between sites to make full use of high speed Internet connections.N/AN/AIt supports all common industry standard VPN protocols for it to connect to VPN services link remote offices and handle connections from all types of VPN clients. Supporting IPsec IKEv1 & IKEv2 protocols with EAP and XAuth authentication DrayTek's SSL VPN and L2TP for both LAN to LAN and Dial-In teleworker VPNs. In addition teleworkers can connect to the router with OpenVPN.N/AN/AUser management for Dial-In Teleworkers is managed through the router's web interface with mOTP 2-factor authentication available for IPsec L2TP and SSL VPN Teleworker connections. Alternatively authentication for Dial-In Teleworker connections can be forwarded to your Active Directory (LDAP) or RADIUS or TACACS+ server.N/AN/AConnect VPNs from behind NAT with DrayTek's VPN MatcherN/AA typical requirement for connecting a VPN tunnel between two points is that the VPN server must be directly accessible on the public Internet. Sometimes this can be achieved with NAT Port Forwarding if the router is located behind another router but if the router is connected to 4G Mobile Broadband or is behind Carrier-Grade NAT (CG-NAT) connecting to that VPN server may be impossible.N/AN/ADrayTek's new VPN Matcher service helps DrayTek routers behind NAT to allow Dial-In Teleworkers to connect or connect two DrayTek VPN routers that are behind NAT and could not normally establish a VPN tunnel.N/AN/AConnecting Remote Sites with LAN to LAN VPNN/ASupporting up to 32 concurrently active VPN tunnels the Vigor 2866 series is ideal for connecting multiple sites or home offices together with fast and secure IPsec VPN tunnels.N/AN/AOnce connected they have access to your office/remote resources through a secure encrypted tunnel allowing remote desktop file sharing and seamless access to other resources and devices.N/AN/ADrayTek SSL VPN for Dial-In Teleworkers & LAN to LANN/AThe Vigor 2866 supports up to 16 active DrayTek SSL VPN tunnel connections. These are encrypted tunnels linking your teleworkers or remote DrayTek Vigor routers back to your main office using SSL/TLS technology - the same encryption that you use for secure web sites such as your bank.N/AN/ATeleworkers can easily create a secure SSL VPN tunnel to the DrayTek Vigor 2866 using the free DrayTek Smart VPN Client app. Available for Windows macOS Apple iOS (iPad iPhone) and Android devices.N/AN/A5+1 Gigabit LAN Ports with VLANsN/AThe Vigor 2866 series provides up to 6 Gigabit LAN ports for wired links to Computers Servers and Network Attached Storage.N/AN/AWith 5 dedicated LAN ports and one flexible LAN/WAN port the Vigor 2866 can connect up to 6 devices directly with a single Ethernet WAN configuration or 5 devices with a dual Ethernet WAN configuration.N/AN/AWith Multiple LAN subnets and VLANs the Vigor 2866 can manage up to 8 separate networks. For instance an internal network with a separate network for Guests to use completely separate from the private network. Each network with its own Content Filtering Firewall Quality of Service and Route Policy applied.N/AN/AThe router has full support for 802.1Q VLAN tagging so that these subnets can be passed to other devices that support VLAN tags such as the DrayTek VigorSwitch G1080 8-port switch for additional network ports. N/AN/AThe Wireless LAN also links to these VLANs making the same Guest & Private networks possible simply using different wireless SSIDs. Or connect up a DrayTek VigorAP wireless access point such as the VigorAP 903 to do the same spanning the router's own wireless and any connected wireless APs.N/AN/ADesigned for Central ManagementN/AThe Vigor 2866 series (along with most other DrayTek routers Access points and switches) can be centrally managed by our VigorACS central management platform.N/AN/AThis scalable solution provides visibility control and reporting of your entire DrayTek product estate ideal for dealers/SIs managing customers' devices or any user who wants to know what's going on with their devices.
