We're currently running a TailScale VPN with management attached to the Makers Local 256 GitHub group as a much more manageable upgrade from the old finicky IPSEC VPN.

Sometimes we also just use IPsec to encrypt the 10.x traffic between the remote server's public address and the on-prem stuff. In this configuration, the edgerouter seems to love to add extraneous routes that you have to delete. Example:

ip route del 206.198.230.76 dev br0  scope link  src 24.96.165.230

To ensure this happens if the VPN restarts, I add that "ip route del" line into root's crontab on the router, to run every few minutes. Terrible solution but it'll work for now.

We're currently running a TailScale VPN with management attached to the Makers Local 256 GitHub group as a much more manageable upgrade from the old finicky IPSEC VPN. This currently exposes the 10.56.* address space to the VPN as routable and clients run on the EdgeRouter Lite itself and the remote web host which is now hosted on Hunter's community ESXi install.
