Today we released a new service - DrayTek VPN Matcher to help two routers, both behind NAT, find each other and establish a LAN-to-LAN VPN. The service allows VPN traffic to traverse the NAT. It's the solution for multi-site companies with the need for VPN connections but cannot afford a public IP address.

How it works

To use the service, Network Administrator first needs to register an account at DrayTek VPN Match server and add the VPN peers into the account's device list. Next, enable VPN Matcher on the VPN router's GUI and input the credentials. The router will then communicate with the Matcher server to report its real IP address and port number and ask for the peers' information. VPN Matcher will help the routers to find each other on a specified public IP and port so they can send the VPN traffic and establish a VPN connection.

Feature Availability

VPN Matcher is now available for Vigor2620LTE and VigorLTE 200n, in the latest firmware version 3.8.13. Vigor2762, Vigor2862, Vigor2133, Vigor2926, Vigor2952, and Vigor3220 are planed to support this feature in firmware version 3.9.2. Vigor2765 is planned to add this feature in firmware version 4.1.0.
