Hi alltogether,

I'm going to migrate from usg40w to usg100flex and am about to use the config conversion tool on the website.

But I haven't yet beacause I'm a bit concerned to upload all my VPN an very security sensitive data up to ab website to let the conversion happen.

What do you guys think about my concerns?

    I'd say if you trust Zyxel enough to use their firewall, you should trust there config utility. You could always convert it than change the VPN PSK afterword. Or you can just setup the new router manually. I usually pull a backup from the old router and then copy and paste the config file one section at a time into the new router to speed things up.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I migrated and worked like a charme. Changed the passwords afterwards and the most security based applications are certificate based anyway.
