VPN licenses for workgroups

Postby jony_jrslm » May 09 05 12:41 am

I have two workgroup LANs, each one behind a NAT-wireless router. The NAT-wireless router is my internet gateway. Each LAN has 4 computers. Am I correct in assuming that, to allow complete connectivity from any computer to any computer, I need 8 VPN licenses? In contrast to the scenarios I read in your whitepapers, I have no Network Server computer/domain. Is it also true that I need to define 4 separate host-connections on each computer, one for each of the "off-site" computers? Is there a better way to do this? Help!

No, this is not true. In order to connect two networks you need two VPN servers - and, consequently, two licenses (the actual license size depends on the additional functionality you require, for example, if you plan to use Wingate as a proxy server you need to allow for the actual number of users that might connect through it).

You need one VPN license per network. The license size (Number of active machines) is determined by the number of machines at that location / on that network that will take part in the VPN.

So, from the face of it - unless you are interested in WinGate functionality as well like Genie suggested you'd need two 6 user VPN licenses (Smallest size that covers everything, 3 users won't allow all 4 machines through)
