Question

Hello, just wondering how many VPN (TAP) bridged connections are simultaneously supported using a RUT950 as a server and RUT500s as clients.

Thank you

Hello, 

Regarding the information you are inquiring kindly check the list below: 

RUT2xx series devices:

• OpenVPN
  • 1 server instance
  • 5 client instances
  • up to 200 client connection to the server
• IPsec
  • Don't have that info
• GRE Tunnel
  • Don't have that info
• PPTP
  • 1 server instance
  • 5 client instances
  • up to 100 client connection to the server
• L2TP
  • 1 server instance
  • 5 client instances
  • up to 100 client connection to the server

RUT9xx series devices:

• OpenVPN
  • 1 server instance
  • 5 client instances
  • up to 300 client connection to the server
• IPsec
  • Don't have that info
• GRE Tunnel
  • Don't have that info
• PPTP
  • 1 server instance
  • 5 client instances
  • up to 100 client connection to the server
• L2TP
  • 1 server instance
  • 5 client instances
  • up to 100 client connection to the server

NOTE: in theory the devices will support more connections than specified here. But if you exceed those numbers, the device may starting functioning incorrectly (high CPU load, high RAM usage, possible crashes, etc.)


Hope it helps,

Thanks Jerome,

In my case, I need to hook 13 remote clients to a server. As I can read in your kind reply, I could connect up to 300 clients to a single server host.

Just wondering how much the maximum bandwidth will be for every connection.

Hello,

Yes, you can connect up to 300 clients to a single server host.

For the maximum bandwidth for every connection we don't have exact numbers. Because it would be less than the internet speed, and depends on VPN parameters, connection type, and client's quantity.

Hope it helps
