Digital camera reviews of Cisco RV042 4-port 10/100 VPN Router - Dual WAN

Digital camera Review: Avoid if you need VPN and where is the value for money?
Summary: 1 Stars

Used the unit in a small office with 50 users.

First the good.
- Easy to set up
- Reliable firewall and router
- keywords used for internet blocking of web sites

The bad:
-VPN does not work properly. Wasted weeks on this. Tried the cisco/Linksys software and it was useless. Also only supports 5 users when using PPTP. Continual issues with unreliable results.
-When the battery dies you need to replace the unit.
-Cannot block messenger apps

In the end I switched to m0n0wall for the firewall. Installing it onto a retired NT4 box. Removed the hard drive and booted from the CD ISO image. Config saves onto a floppy. Felt good going "green" by resurrecting this old box.

For the VPN and content filtering i am still looking. M0n0wall allows a lot more VPN clients than the RV042 but not intuitive to set up. M0n0 also has graphs of through put an CPU usage.Have used OpenVPN for IPSEC and works more reliably than the RV042 for VPN. While these two options take longer to set up than the RV042 they are FREE.

For a product I pay for I want:
-Ease of set up.
-Trouble free VPN set up
-No restriction on VPN connects.
-Decent monitoring and logging tools.
-Ability to KILL IM and Torrent traffic, or at least capture and log IM traffic to deter staff goofing off
