Hi:
I am using an EdgeRouter LITE as my home router and it is currently acting as an OpenVPN client to my dedicated VPN server that I have set up elsewhere. I use it to tunnel 100% of my traffic through the tunnel and it works wonderfully. However, I have a true 100Mb downlink line available, but the poor little EdgeRouter LITE can only handle about ~8-10 Mb of VPN traffic using OpenVPN.
I have read everywhere that an L2TP VPN will easily handle 100Mb, so I went and set that up, but now I'm having trouble routing all of the traffic through that tunnel to a NAT in the remote network. I can confirm that I can reach the NAT on the remote network with a private IP address when the tunnel is up, but setting it as a gateway route in my EdgeRouter doesn't seem to work.
To be clear, my setup is as follows:
+ EdgeRouter LITE
+ Successful L2TP tunnel establishment
+ Remote site is Amazon Web Services - VPC VPN
+ NAT host in remote network
I would appreciate any insight, thanks.
