<div>Hi Guys, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just wondering if anyone had any reccomendations for
4G router hardware (consumer/prosumer) that supported
site-to-site vpn. </div>
<div>seems like there is quite a bit of equipment that can
host vpn, however not alot of it can join something
already existing. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>i've used some tp-link (mr200) units with ipsec
support but the dynamic ip from 4g make this an issue. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>would love to hear your thoughts. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>also fyi. telstra is main carrier, however some optus
will be used when coverage is an issue</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks Jim</div>
