Dual Gateway Network - StrongVPN

Alternative Views:

While having a StrongVPN router is incredible, there are some people who want a bit more... this solution provides it! We call this solution "The Donald", in honor of the customer that originally commissioned it.

Our fastest StrongVPN router (Asus) is limited by the processing and routing overhead to about 10 MB throughput. Some of our lucky customers have much faster connections. This solution lets them easily move between local internet and StrongVPN. That way they get their full download speeds when the StrongVPN is not needed AND a fast StrongVPN tunnel when location is important..
You need devices using the local internet and devices using StrongVPN to communicate on the same network. For example, you may download media files on a NAS or computer connected to your local internet but you want a media player connected to the StrongVPN to play the media. This solution is one network, two gateways.
Your StrongVPN router needs to be connected to a fast router. If you don't already have a fast router for your primary router, this solution gives you a very fast primary router and a very fast StrongVPN router.
You want a DHCP solution, so you're not messing with a bunch of static addresses. This was the toughest challenge in this configuration. Because the routers are on the same network, we designed DHCP blocking between the routers. This way, if you connect to the local internet router, you are assigned that gateway and go out through the local internet. If you connect to the StrongVPN router, you are assigned that gateway and go out through the StrongVPN tunnel

Both routers are modified Asus RT-N16 routers which are SCREAMING fast. The first is configured as a Mega Base Router and connects directly to your local internet. Any computers and devices which connect to this router use the local internet at full speeds. The second router has been configured and tested as a StrongVPN router!

Features

This solution works with either a StrongVPN PPTP or OpenVPN account, your choice! We've installed the dd-wrt v24 Big operating system which leaves lots of memory and CPU for the traffic processing. This model has HUGE extra memory. We all know that StrongVPN is the best when it comes to incredible VPN service and now you want to bring it to your network. We've done the
install and setup of the router including dd-wrt, DNS, Firewall, and
other specialized settings. It's ready for your account info and you've
got a routed connection to the incredible StrongVPN service. We have
worked with a lot of routers in our years but this one is crazy fast and
has HUGE memory. It has 32 MB of flash and 128 MB of ram. That's 8
times the amount of a WRT54GL! It also has a 480 mhz processor, which
is 2x faster than the WRT54GL. In fact, it's even 40% faster than our
own WRT320N model! In our testing, this router gave almost 3x
throughput of the StrongVPN traffic compared to a modified WRT54GL,
maxing out at around 10 MB. The StrongVPN router will:
- Connect
- to the StrongVPN network, creating a VPN tunnel connection to any
- of 63 servers in 10 countries around the world.
- Serve that
- StrongVPN connection to your other networked devices.
- Broadcast
- your wireless network through Wireless N at speeds up to 300 mbps.
- Serves
- the tunnel locally to its 4 Gigabit LAN ports
- Process the VPN
- traffic incredibly fast.
- Create the easiest connection for
- multiple computers.
- All white design looks great.
Your
Sabai Technology Network Solution will include two Asus RT-N-16 routers
which were purchased new, then modified by Sabai Technology to include
the powerful dd-wrt operating system. The first router is configured as
your primary Mega Base router. Your second router is configured
specifically for the StrongVPN service including Firewall and DNS
settings. DHCP blocking is enabled between the routers to allow each
router to assign itself as the gateway to it's wired or wireless
connected clients. It comes with the router, dual voltage power adapter,
ethernet cable, and setup instructions.

Makes Everything Better	August 9, 2010
Reviewer: Donald from Bermuda

I just set this up 2am last night. Pretty excited about it, actually. Here are some random observations: PACKAGING No advertisements, no "clamshell" packaging, no need for a boxcutter. Both routers are white and have a clean look to them. Instructions & backup CD right on top, everything labelled, personally signed. Very, very nice. QUICK SETUP After I set up PPPoE and configured my PC for DHCP my Local ISP internet came up great! STRONGVPN ON PC My PC is wired into my LOCALISP router, and is set up with DHCP, so my PC automatically has a local IP. However, if I set my PC's gateway to the STRONGVPN router (I use NetSetMan Pro do to this with a couple clicks), poof! I've got my US IP. WIRED DEVICES I've got some devices that I want a local IP (e.g. Vonage) and other devices I wanted to have a US IP (e.g. TiVo). I reconfigured any static IPs I had set for DHCP (much nicer) and plugged them into each router. I was initially concerned that all my devices had exactly the wrong connection (devices I wanted local had US IP's and vice versa). Duh, I had wired my devices all to the opposite router! Swapped the cables, refreshed, and they all worked great! STRONG WIRELESS I accidentally connected my Blackberry before I even put the antennas on the router, but it still connected great! BANDWIDTH Wish I had done some benchmarking of StrongVPN bandwidth before/after, but it's noticeably better. LESS LAG Absolutely less lag from my StrongVPN connection. And not just the VPN - everything's more responsive, even just surfing on my PC. Some of that might be due to the fact the routers are using Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS - it was a smart little detail. TIVO NETWORKING One of my original reasons to sign up with Strong VPN was that TiVo "broadband" services (shopping, downloading videos, etc.) won't work without a US IP. My old DLink allowed me to use Amazon Movies On Demand, etc., but as a practical matter it was too slow for me to actually use it. This setup gives a big boost. I didn't realize how much of the interface lag on my Series 2 TiVo was actually network lag imposed by router delay in serving up StrongVPN (whew!). The Asus RT-N16 is as fast as promised - my D-Link will never see a VPN again! The TiVo interface delay is now under my annoyance threshold, so all the broadband functionality of TiVo is now usable. TIVO DESKTOP & BONJOUR The documentation came with a warning about the Bonjour service may not being able to work when multiple gateways are available, as this solution provides. Unfortunately, the warning proved true. More unfortunately, the suggested fix of setting a static IP & gateway on my PC didn't fix the problem. Happily, TiVo allows for non-Bonjour discovery, and once I selected that in TiVo Desktop it worked fine. TiVo Desktop is now a lot faster and more responsive polling TiVo, which I put down to the faster Asus RT-N16. However, if I had iTunes, or Mac TV, etc. I would care a lot more about Bonjour not working. Sabai Technology offered to test the new version of the Bonjour service, which may provide a solution, but I'm satisfied for now. VONAGE Prior to this solution, I was forced to route my Vonage through StrongVPN (I had a catch-all single DHCP), and I was experiencing terrible quality. Now however, call clarity is excellent - better than before I had StrongVPN, so I think the faster router is making a difference. TORRENTS My STRONGVPN router has been optionally configured to filter and drop any bittorrent packets, which I LOVE. I once accidently ran uTorrent over StrongVPN and later received a DCMA notice. I don't ever want another one of those, and the filtering will keep me honest by making sure traffic is over my LOCALISP router. NAS Thinking about using the USB capability of the Asus RT-N16. Be great if I save myself the purchase of a NAS. Sabai Technologies warned that dd-wrt support of USB on the Asus RT-N16 is new and limited, but I'm sure it will come. CONCLUSION This product gives me dedicated StrongVPN connectivity, both wired and wireless. It also gives me dedicated local ISP connectivity. I just plug the cable into the right router, or connect to the right wireless network. No maintenance, no fuss. It all just works. I am very happy with this low-maintenance solution, as I don't want to continue to spend hours every so often tweaking a crashed network. Clearly this solution is not for Joe Six-Pack, or even the expat who just wants to see the occasional Hulu video. But for those who want a steady, feature-rich solution with quality components and knowledgeable support (thanks, William!), after your research you'll find you keep coming back to Sabai Technolgy's offering.

What a great solution and great support	August 9, 2010
Reviewer: Mostapha from Jeddah

This is a great solution for you surfers. The only words I can say about this gateway are that it let you feel hopping between countries while you are on your desk. But I have some words about Support: I?ve been into online shopping longtime ago and my friends thought that I?m internet shopaholic. Believe me I never saw support like that of Sabai Technologies especially William. I emailed him several times before I purchased the Dual Gateway and he helped me pick up the right system for my case. During installation, I faced some difficulties so I emailed him and within minutes he was connected to my PC remotely showing me the exact steps of installation. This is the guy whom I wish all Internet companies have one like him. Keep up the good work.
