Title: ipsec-nat-t, how is this handled?
Post by: funkiestj on April 21, 2014, 01:25:35 PM

I use an ipsec-nat-t VPN (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec#Encapsulating_Security_Payload (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec#Encapsulating_Security_Payload)) to get to work when I'm at home.

I WANT this traffic to be categorized as high priority and low latency but my bandwidth demands are not high (remote desktop, VNC).  As far as I can tell, my VPN traffic is categorized as "web traffic" (as is my SWTOR MMO game traffic).

It may be that DGL-5500 is already doing what I want it to but there is nothing in the GUI that tells me it is.

I haven't had a full day of working at home while someone else watches netflix so I don't much enough experience yet to evaluate how well I think my VPN traffic is being handled.

I do have the workstation that I do VPN work on prioritized highest but my understanding of the documentation is that priority is only a tie breaker for to devices with traffic that is categorized the same.

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Only thing I think you can do is to prioritize the PC who's doing the VPN stuff and set the next device to be next in the priorities.

I presume that any VPN traffic will be categorized as web traffic.

Do you notice any issues using default settings?
