As i am new to Flex connect /WiFi, i was trying to understand flex connect and then i found attached from official docs. My confusion, indeed security in shape of vpn in regards of remote AP's to communicate with controller in HQ. what if we have only simple ADS L connection for internet connectivity on branch office and we want secure connection between flex connect AP's and HQ wireless controller. what are the options to connect securely flex connect AP's and Controllers and how we can connect them even over simple internet.

Hi,
We recommending Site to Site VPN or MPLS connection for this feature.

Hi,
As another option as NAT (1:1), on the WLC side, you can have only 1:1 (Static NAT) configured and the external NAT IP address configured on dynamic AP management interface(Not sure all WLC is supporting to this feature). PAT cannot be configured on the WLC side because LAPs cannot respond to WLCs if the ports are translated to ports other than 5246 or 5247, which are meant for control and data messages.
