What's new is the IPSec VPN support. You can set up secure tunnels over the Internet between two or more LANs using one of these boxes in front of each LAN. Alternatively (or in addition) you can set up a tunnel between a standalone remote PC and a LAN that has one of these routers *IF* the remote PC supports IPSec. Windows 2000 and XP support IPSec but Windows 9x/Me/NT do *NOT*. (If you want a Windows 9x/Me/NT PC to connect into an IPSec VPN, you will need a 3rd party IPSec driver, or just buy another one of these boxes to put in front of the PC.)Configuring IPSec on a Windows 2000 or XP PC is not exactly easy either -- Linksys' how-to document is SIXTEEN PAGES long! But the difficulty is not Linksys' fault -- rather it's due to Microsoft's tortured GUI for the IPSec configuration.But setting up a tunnel between two of these boxes is easy. It's only the standalone PC to LAN tunnel that is daunting.I want to give this product 5 stars. It works very well, and the price is almost too good to be true -- it compares quite favorably with other products costing 5-10 times more. But I have to take a point off because Linksys does not give enough emphasis to the Windows 2000/XP limitation of the standalone PC VPN client in its marketing copy, and there is not one word about how to configure the standalone client in the manual that comes with the router -- you have to hunt for it on Linksys' Web site. From what I see on the discussion boards, there are a lot of people who are lost without better information on these points. So if you plan to use a standalone VPN client, be prepared for a struggle, but hang in there -- it DOES work! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cisco-Linksys BEFVP41 VPN Router *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2010* I have been using the first generation BEFVP41 router now since 2002 and it needed to be replaced. Comcast has increased their speed to 18Mbs and the old first generation router limited my speed the 9Mbs it has a 10Base T WAN port BEFVP41 series 2 routers has a 100Base T WAN port. My old router had at least 70 available tunnels and the new router has only 50 available tunnels. Router to router VPN works great but router to VPN client on my Windows 7 basic netbook I cannot get that part to work. I will be upgrading my wireless network from 802.11g 54Mbs to 802.11n 300Mbs soon and my cable modem will go from DOCSIS 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0 this modem just over 100Mbs speed and already this will make BEFVP41 series 2 router obsolete. What I am looking for from Cisco-Linksys is an updated version of their RV016 router that has Gigabit Ethernet ports both WAN and LAN ports with a VPN bandwidth 500Mbs to 1000Mbs the current version has 100Base T WAN and LAN ports with 97Mbs VPN bandwidth. The RV016 routers I have read about seem to be compatible with VPN clients on Windows 7 and Windows XP sorry I will not touch Windows Vista. Today the RV016 router does not have the speed I am looking for yet when I update to DOCSIS 3.0 Comcast is planning to go far beyond 100Mbs speed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEFVP41 compatibility with software IPsec clients *by S***F on Reviewed in the United States on 21 May 2010* The BEFVP41 I bought is Hardware version 1.2 and firmware version 1.02.06 - build 003. It installed easily and works fine as a firewall and router between a Comcast cable modem and a Dell 16 port Ethernet switch. This is at one of two remote locations I need access to (Location1). The second location (Location2) uses a Cisco 3005 VPN appliance and I have the Cisco 5.0.01.0600-k9 vpnclient installed on the PC. So I need an IPSec client that will work with the BEFVP41 and coexist with the Cisco client. In all the tests, I installed the test client for the BEFVP41 first, and then installed the Cisco client. In setting up the IPSec client for the BEFVP41, I tried 5 available software clients on a Windows XP SP3 PC. I configured VPN on the BEFVP41 as described in the document "VPN with SSH Sentinel and Linksys BEFVP41" [...] . I did get a warning message from the BEFVP41 if I tried to set up a shared key of less than 24 characters, it would let you do it, but I think it caused problems later, so I put in a 24 character key and everything worked OK. I used the SSL-Sentinel 1.3 client which is free, and it worked fine and does coexist with the Cisco 5.0.01.0600-k9 vpnclient. The SSL-Sentinel 1.4 client worked fine and coexisted with the Cisco client, but this is not a free client. The SSL-Sentinel 1.3.2 did not work; it gave errors on install and disabled the Ethernet connection on the PC. The Netgear VPN01L client, which costs about $40, worked OK, but it does not coexist with the Cisco client. This is probably due to the fact that both clients use the "Deterministic Network Enhancer" device driver. The ShrewSoft 2.1.5 VPN client connected once with the BEFVP41 and I could not get it to connect ever again. So, I am connecting to the BEFVP41 box using the SSLSentinel 1.3 client and connecting to the Cisco 3005 using the Cisco client. I need to turn off each VPN client to use the other, but that is not a big problem. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/269369189-befvp41-etherfast-cable-dsl-vpn-router-with-4-port-10](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/269369189-befvp41-etherfast-cable-dsl-vpn-router-with-4-port-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
