I have a MP70 modem and have a instrument connected to it through ethernet. I am able to connected control the instrument from my laptop if my laptop is connected to the modem with an ethernet cable. What I need to do is remotely control the instrument from my laptop. Does anyone know how to setup a vpn so that my laptop can communicate with the instrument remotely?
Hi @tpham,
Please download the guideline at link. Refer to VPN configuration page #171 for detail. The MP70 can act as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) device. It supports three types of VPN: IPsec, GRE, and OpenVPN. You can choose one of them for your topology

Hi Vianney,
Thank you for you response. If I select IPsec as an option and configured the modem as shown in the manual. On my laptop, what do I have to installed for it to use the IPsec VPN? I tried the Windows 10 built-in VPN and it could not communicate with the modem. Do you know what I need to install on my laptop to use IPsec VPN? I don’t have any preference so if you know of a third party VPN option please let me know.
Hi @tpham,
Please consider below solutions for your network
-
If you have an existing VPN you can follow the topic below for configuration
RV50 OpenVPN routing problem -
If you dont have. Please try the Port Forwarding feature for remotely access to the instrument.
In Port Forwarding, any unsolicited data coming in on a defined Public Port is routed to
the corresponding private port and IP of a host (your instrument) connected on the LAN.
The topology as the screenshot
Go to Security > Port Forwarding
Open port (ex: 80) on the instrument for accessing remotely
Note that:
- Both solutions require the public IP for the GW
