Two RV082's VPN'd won't automatically connect. Works w/Tunnel Test.

[MtnSledder]

I have two RV082's connected across the internets using the primary WAN ports. They are both set to Auto Load Balance. Both ends of the VPN are set to "IP Only, IP by DNS Resolved".

If I attempt to access the remote subnet, the VPN won't automatically initiate a connection. However, if I do a "Tunnel Test" connection on both routers, then the remote subnet access works just fine.

Should the router automatically connect the VPN when a remote subnet is attempted? If so, what might I do to make it connect automatically?

Hi MtnSledder , thanks for using our forum, my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community. Yes, the router has to connect when one of them  try to connect to the other one.

I hope you find this answer useful,
