Can BT Smart Hub connect LAN to LAN VPNs to Vigor Routers was created by teamgb
We have around 30 offices, that all use Various Vigor routers and all connect very well to our Help Desk in Glasgow. Can this new Smart Hub do LAN to LAN VPN? As we do like the 4G assure back up. I did contact BT Tech, who say it has this feature, I just don't believe them! Thanks in advance.

I would be very surprised if it did...

However, I'm no expert on things "BT" (having hated every encounter with them I ever had - I avoid them like the plague!)

There's a response here that says:


To be clear, the BT Smart Hub does not support or run any VPN software. It can forward traffic between two VPN end points e.g., a "head end" on the Internet and a host on your private LAN running an appropriate "VPN client", but other than forwarding the traffic it plays no role in the VPN itself.



That's from January 2017 - I don't know if there's been a new version of the "Smarthub" since then.

I doubt it too. You're paying them for Internet connectivity - they won't to support VPN setup/users etc. FOC... Buy more vigors :-)
