    Hi all,

    Does anyone know if it's possible to run a VPN over UPC by using another router on your DMZ ? I found the following post from another thread by Watty

    If you can't bridge, then set your separate router to a different subnet, i.e. 192.168.3.xxx for everything on LAN.

    Then give your router WAN port a static IP in the LAN range of the Cisco Router/Cable Modem and only plug the WAN port into Cisco.
    Disable WiFi on the Cisco
    Then on the Cisco make the IP of your standalone WiFi/Router a DMZ. Then all ports are forwarded both ways, it's almost like Bridge Mode. To the 3rd party standalone WiFi/Router it will look like the Cisco is in Bridge mode but as if your public IP is the LAN IP on the Cisco set up for DMZ.

    The actual Public IP is of course whatever it is.

    The aul lad regularly works from home over a VPN on UPC.

    Once you're not exceeding your FUP I don't see why they'd care too much.

    Sorry, let me clarify. I'm interested in making a site to site VPN tunnel - router to router.

    All sorted - instead of logging onto your router with the 192.168.1.1 address or whatever one you use, instead use 192.168.100.1. You access pretty much the same setup menu but suddenly the VPN option is available to add router to router tunnels or whatever.
