GX50 / Site-to-Site VPN - Azure

[ADE78]

Hi Everyone,

I know the question has already been answered, but I still wanted to post it additionally to emphasize, as I hope to get a perspective if things might change? - If not the consequence has to be selling my GX50 and sadly turn my back to Meraki Go..

..as I don't understand that there is no possibility to configure any Site-to-Site VPN, except between two/or more GX50s.

-> I do understand the regular Meraki Line would support it via the vMX appliance, just the licensing costs defy any SO/HO usage, even if the devices match or are even below the Meraki Go pricing.

Thank you & best regards,

Alex

hello @ADE78

A true Site-to-Site VPN is possible between two or more GX50s.

I don't have a GX50 but I run on a "kinda fake" Site-to-Site VPN. I was not able to set up Site-to-Site on my two TP-Link routers. So one of them acts as server and the other is acting as client. Since I only need one connection, this works perfectly well for me. The VPN acts like a Site-to-Site VPN, all devices are able to reach any device on the two locations. So maybe this could be possible with a GX50 as server and another router as client on the other site.

hope this helps

Hi Xydocq
happy Tuesday, I never said thank you.

So "Thank you!" 😉

I'm sure there are many creative ways of getting things connected, but my aim is of course to gain understanding which can be applied to business and I wouldn't put something like that into production. 😄

And I was basically disappointed about the <very limited> feature offer for the GX50 in that regards, in my opinion there are many Tech Enthusiasts out there, who would use the device without these illogical limitations.

Also the stability of the GX50 is sometimes not really

[Yeah I do understand that asking for thousands of Dollars for the licensing of the full version makes sense, but there could have been a middle ground between 1000s and "device price" + security if you want to, especially when aiming at small and medium sized business, who can't afford an enterprise environment, not that they would EVER be interested in Cloud applications *lol* Sales gone wrong, but who am I to judge..]

Anyhow, for the S2S VPN I got myself a "real router" from Cisco, as they are fully supported by Microsoft. - It's not that things would be so much better there, I'm comfortable with configuring via CLI, but tried to ask what a (maybe single?) software update would cost me and aehm, without a service contract I don't even get answers, not even the answers how to get the contract, so nothing is really working, quite disappointing as well.. *lol*

Maybe my path will sadly lead back to Ubiquiti, but let's see..

Have a great day,

cheers,

Alex
