Vigor 2960 Series Router Firewall SME - SME = Small and Medium sized Enterprises (50-250 staff).
http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2960.html

This device is simply not fit for purpose and not as described. Apart from the poor and limited firmware Draytek states that this product supports "IPSec VPN - LAN-to-LAN or Teleworker (200 tunnels)" and while that may be so it goes on to list the potential benefits of SSL VPN for teleworkers over PPTP but what it fails to mention in any documentation is that SSL VPN clients are limited to only 10 profiles. This means no more than 10 staff can SSL VPN and connect to their computers for Remote Desktop or VNC. Web Proxy addresses are also limited to only 10 hosts, making this device unsuitable for SMEs unless your business is ‘very’ small indeed and certainly NOT for SMEs as advertised. Don't fall into this trap. Draytek should state the SSL VPN profile limit as 10 and not leave it to the customer to fall foul.

Alongside the flakey firmware and inconsistent results when using the SSL VPN for remote access, such as fullscreen mode covering the taskbar, inability to connect to web proxy addresses, blocked Java content for RDP and VNC connections plus the inability to change the router date via the web console are some of the reasons we are returning this device immediately.


SSL VPN profile limits Remote Desktop connections to only 10 machines on your network.


SSL VPN profile limits VNC connections to only 10 machines on your network.


SSL VPN profile limits Web Proxy connections to only 10 web hosts on your network.


The only way to change Router date is via Telnet CLI. So all Router logs will show wrong date unless you fix this. Latest firmware does not fix this.

OUCH! that's a shame as I does show potential.
Is the 3900 limited in such a way as well? I hope not!

If you mean the WUI ... then yes is the same for the 3900 and the 2760 (i already have it) ... seems from now on thats how will be the newest models

I take it you're not impressed. I can sell you another brick you if like.

Are you sure about this? The unit's spec. shows up to 100 tunnels, so surely it allows >10 profiles.

I don't have a V2960, but is there perhaps a 'more' button that shows further pages of profiles, like on the Vigor3300
port forwarding ?

Admin, there is no More button.
It is limited to 10
