I work for a small firm where there are 3 VPN users.
The firm owns a Netgear FVS336G which we setup to allows to VPN into the office via SSL VPN. This worked great, and solid, for about 18 months or so.
We decided to start upgrading to Windows 8.1 x64 and that was the end of the great part. The OS and version of IE are not supported with this appliance.
We researched and replaced that appliance with a SonicWall TZ205 which worked great for like 3 months and then the connections became flaky, as in it disconnects to often and sometimes even messes the IP settings of the machine. We signed up for the support package but their support is abysmal...the worst I've seen.
Now we're trying to setup a ZyWall 110 which we were told it'd work fine with Windows 8...yet we have not been able to, even with support assistance. Windows 7 works fine. I'm still working with their support, their support is fantastic compared to SonicWall.
Wondering if somebody could offer some advice as to what to do.
I have not looked at all into IPSEC VPN since SSL VPN seemed very simple out of the box. I am willing to try other things.
Any tips\suggestions\recommendations are very much appreciated. Thanks!
