Verizon FIOS and VPN
We switched to Fios and they gave us instead of a cable modem a wireless router also connected to the VPN router "Internet Port" and VPN went bust.
I got it to work somewhat but not sure if it is correct speed or security wise.
This is what I have done. With Comcast the VPN router held the WAN IP (public IP) but I noticed now with FIOS that it was now a local IP 192.168.1.2 I think coming from the Fios wireless router and the Fios wireless router now holds the WAN IP.
So I configured the Fios router to port forward the WAN IP to the VPN router behind it.
VPN seems to be up but my internet is slow on any network machine. My MS SBS 2003 was setup to distribute IP's on the network.
Also do I still leave the cat5 in the VPN router "Internet Port" or move it to a open LAN port? The VPN router was my Firewall and I see the Fios router also has a Firewall turned on, what must I do with this?
Again I am looking to regain internet speed and maintain security but as you can see I know just enough to be a menace to myself.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
