It would be nice if it did what it said on the tin but we found that this box couldn't stay up for more than a week before hanging and requiring a power cycle to get going again. 3Com gave us a patch to fix the bug which totally wrecked the thing and took out the onboard webserver required to manage it. We're replacing it with something else. Do not buy this product.

I will keep this basic. It does great with pptp. and ipsec. Internet speeds are fast, setup is easy and it has plenty of features. Every once in a while (sometimes a week sometimes 5) it drops the vpn tunnels and just basically shuts down and has to be restarted. On top of that, you have to restart is about 3 times. The alert light blinks and sometimes one restart isn't enough. We had a replacement sent from 3com, but the new one does the same thing just less frequently. We have 3 in 3 different offices, and they all need infrequent restarts. So we're looking for a replacement before we open office #4.

Small size and bangs out a lot of work for a tiny switch VPN unit. You will not find one at this price and size for what it does. If you units is buggy 3com with get you a replacement.
