Cisco VPN 3030 Concentrator

[neng00001]

I got a VPN 3030 concentrator recently. Can anyone tell me if I can configure it as an internet router as well? I made VPN working for personal and Lan-to-Lan tunnels. However I can not access internet if I use this VPN as a gateway. Actually I can not make any outgoing traffic go through this gateway. I am new to Cisco VPN, please help and give me some advise. Thank you in advance!

This device was not meant to work as a router although it was possible with some tweaks.

But more important: Would you place an unpatched Windows XP computer directly onto the internet? No? Then don't do that with a VPN3000. this device didn't get software-fixes for nearly 10 years.

Hi, Karsten

Thank you so much for the reply.

I know the device is too old to get fixes. So I will not use it for real world, just for testing purpose. Can you tell more details about tweaks? What should I do to make it work as a router? Filters? Rules? or something else?

I don't remember what it was, I replaced my last concentrator nearly ten years ago ... I only remember that it wasn't really straight-forward. IMO it's not worth the effort to dig deeper into that.
