    Title kinda says it all. I'm looking for a VoIP router that will do it all for me, including client-side IPsec VPN support. I don't think Linksys offers that combo, for instance.

    Both the Linksys RT31P2, and WRT54GP2 routers support VPN passthrough, and VoIP:

    Security > VPN Passthrough >
    "This Router supports IPSec, PPTP, and PPPoE Passthrough. You can select either Enable or Disable for these options."

    From the user guide:
    "Is IPSec Pass-Through supported by the Router?
    Yes, it is a built-in feature that the Router automatically enables."

    I'm not looking for pass-through, I'm looking for IPsec termination.

    If it all needs to be in the one box then maybe you'll find something at :

    Has anyone used any of those Draytek's? I recognise the name for some reason so I presume they're not a mickey mouse outfit?

    I looked into buying one a couple of months back, their expensive but they appear to be very good indeed.
    Only place I could find that sells them is overclockers.co.uk

    I'm not that price sensitive. It's for a commercial application so quality is the main requirement. There are a few places that sell them in the UK. The one that meets my requirements is about £170.

    I believe my VoIP requirement means I can't get a cheap-ass VoIP router and a simple ATA, as the router would not have VoIP Qos built-in, which is another requirement. Hence, something like a DrayTek it is...

    I'm sitting here playing around with a Draytek Vigor2900VG. I've signed up with Blueface and it's working fine. I will muck around with the VPN end of things now. The documentation didn't match the management interface when it comes to the VoIP setup, but it was obvious enough. I haven't tried anything particularly advanced, mind.
