I use an RV082 and a WRV54G. I'm very happy with their performance. Haven't
played with the load balancing of the RV082 but otherwise it's nice and easy
to set up. I have both units connected back to a main site via an IPSec
tunnel connecting to a m0n0wall box. I haven't played with the proprietary
vpn software but you probably don't need it if you know what you're doing.

Subject: BEFVP41 vs RV042 ... input please
Anyone have experience with the Linksys VPN routers? I'm looking for
input for a VPN DEVICE compatible with Linux? I'd like to have
something in place by the end of the week. There are two hardware
units I'm looking at...
Linksys BEFVP41:

Linksys RV042:

The RV042 is about $50 more than the BEFVP41 but it will appearently
balance the outgoing connections between both cable and DSL. Since
both are in the house, this may be beneficial. I wonder how well it
works, however.
In any case, I'm worried about HOW the client machines will connect
to the VPN. Most VPN vendors bring with them a proprietary client
software application (both Cisco and Nortel do). I am HOPING that we
can just enable IPSec on the Linux clients and automagically connect
in somehow. Point being, all three (Windows, Mac, Linux) need to play
well with it.
Thanx,
Ryan
