Does USGFLEX100AX support software VPN clients?

Jmax77

The last step in choosing my equipment upgrade is whether it supports software VPN clients like OpenVPN. This device is already recommended for my VOIP system; but I need to know I can easily connect devices remotely and without additional hardware.

Hi @Jmax77,

Welcome to Zyxel Community!

The USG FLEX 100AX supports software-based VPN clients, such as

• Windows Native VPN
• Zyxel SecuExtender

However, OpenVPN is not supported on the USG FLEX 100AX. This protocol is only available on the USG FLEX H series.

I have no trouble getting the SecuExtender to connect. Windows native VPN will not. How should I have the VPN connection configured in the Windows 11 VPN native client? Does Windows require L2TP? I've managed to get this gadget all set up with very little help- which is demonstrative of the simplicity of the Nebula system. I'm just at the very last stages of getting everything working.

Yes Windows 11 VPN native client does work depending on how you set it up

like for L2TP/IPsec with per-shard key you need to setup as IKEv1 Phase 1 with Phase 2 Encapsulation Transport then you need to setup the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Proposal windows defaults but can be change by here for more info here
