I have 7 public ip address from our ISP. &nbsp;We use 6 of these with a linux firewall which connects to our interal network. Our current solution dos not allow any type of vpn for clients. &nbsp;So I was going to use the linksys befv41 set on the 7th public IP and bridge the router to our current network. would this work?

linksys vpn router as a bridge

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
