hi<br />
<br />
ok so iam new to routerOS and i must say this makes a fancy billion router look like a new born's toy at a fraction of the cost :D<br />
<br />
iam using a Routerboard RB750UP (6.15 OS) with a USB 3g card (huawei), i got everything working (bridge all the Ethernet ports , and got the 3g connection up)<br />
<br />
now i need to setup an IPSEC VPN Tunnel between the routerboard and our Fortigate 100d firewall.<br />
<br />
as soon as i go to IP-&gt;IPSEC-&gt;Policies-&gt;add and then loose connection (cant ping , telnet or winbox) right after i click ok in the New IPsec Policy window.<br />
<br />
any ideas ? am i missing something ?

3g + IPSEC (routerboard/Fortigate 100d)

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.

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.

Internet Protocol Security

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
