Private VPN works with Locustworld Wireless Mesh

Almost every time I talk to someone about wireless they always ask me about security. I believe it is the number one question i.e. that is it secure, then I get does it work, and then is faster than DSL. It is strange that people do not ask the DSL provider the same question. Is it secure? In most case when people connect up to the wireless mesh the do it by an unsecured encryption such that they do not use VPN. One of the features of Locustworld is to be able to connect using VPN for additional security. Adding VoIP this adds to the security of the call. But wait if you VPN to a MeshAP can you VPN to your work or another secured system? Well this morning I was able to VPN to my work through Locustworld. I have read many times that this was not possible. Well if you use proprietary VPN like Cisco it will work through Locustworld. I’ve tested and it work well. When security is paramount Locustworld surprising has delivered. This is great news.

  • There was no additional configuration on Locustworld. The configuration was on the client and on router that was being accessed
