Hi,

This question came from our CSC Facebook community.

Can a cisco router do an automatic dial out to a VPN Server?

The most easy ways would be to trigger "interested traffic" so that the VPN will go up.

It can be easily done with a simple ping using Kron commands or tracking:

'Easy VPN Remote' will cause a remote router to automatically connect to a VPN server without user intervention.
