RT-AC87U Site-to-Site VPN

[acalandi]

I just purchased two of these for two small business locations expecting I'd easily be able to setup a site-to-site VPN, I guess I was wrong...
Is this possible? if so maybe through OpenVPN? anyone know where I can find instructions to do so?
I just need RDP access to each site's computers.

Try that URL and see if that helps you.

thanks but i was able to set it up and connect making one of the routers the OpenVPN Server and the other the Client. They connect fine, but I'm not able to ping any of the IP's from the Server to the Client. I haven't tried from the Client to Server but I'm guess if it was working right it should work either way.

You might want to check to see if your V.L.S.M. is set up correctly.

Could you elaborate a little bit? how should it be setup?

V.L.S.M. stands for Variable Length Subnet Mask. It is a Classless I.P. system. It is used used for like what I am assuming your situation is kind of like or is. (You have two different sites/offices and want to connect them). Just an example here...you have at 1 site 12 clients/users and at the other site 20 clients/users. You have a network IP address of 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.0 or something like of that nature with a subnet mask of /24 which is 255.255.255.0. You would have to subnet that address more like use a mask of /27 (255.255.255.224) on one network and /29 (255.255.255.248) on another, etc... Does that make sense? Let me know...
