RV016 VPN and web services

[MassimoDiQuinzio27981]

Hello everyone,

my company has two different ISP managed by firewall like primary and backup, we want to manage the traffic balance. RV016 could be a solution but my doubt is this: we have some services available on static IP of the primary ISP (website, svn, VPN) all managed by the firewall.

If we place RV016 between the 2 WAN and Firewall, can we configure it to has the same services without any problem? And in which way?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion

yes you can do, but make sure you forward traffic from your RV to Firewall.

Thank you for your answer... so I have to make port forwarding only from RV to Firewall and the firewall configurations remain the same like RV is not present, right? I've seen that RV016 don't has gigabit interface could you suggest another model?

Hi,

RV016 is a very old model, End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Sale (EOS) has been already announced long back for that router. Only hardware support is still available for next couple of months. You may check the below mentioned link for details…

Regarding your search for Dual-WAN RV series router, you may check the details of RV34x series routers. Please check the data sheet link provided below for further details…

As RV series devices are not specifically a Firewall device so some of the services present in your Firewall may not be available in RV34x series router, please compare your firewall data sheet and above mentioned RV34x series routers data sheet regarding that. Accordingly, you need to design your network.
