Question : Huawei EchoLife HG520s pass-through VPN?

Hi expert,

I would like to know whether the Echolife HG520s can pass through IPSec packets (UDP 500)?
Have already found and tested the port forwarding website but wan't able to make VPN connection:
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Huawei/EchoLife-HG520s/Echolink.htm

Search the manufacturer website and look like this model does not support port fordwarding:

Are there anyone have the same problem? Any idea appreicate! Thank you.

Answer : Huawei EchoLife HG520s pass-through VPN?

Hi,

I've checked the product manual. It does not mention about either VPN or IPSec pass through. IPsec protocol has two components. First of all it requires some IP packets (to be passed through) during the sending of AH phase. So it is not enough to pass UDP 500 packets.

You need a router that specifies it supports "IPSec Pass-trough" explicitly.  

Given that I don't think you can use IPSec passthrough with EchoLife HG520

Cheers,
