A VPN's success depends on other parts of your network infrastructure. Here are factors that could cause performance issues for your VPN:

Recipient(s) - separate email addresses with a comma Message. For example, if your remote network is 192.168.13.0/24, you should be able to connect to IPs starting with 192.168.13.x, but connections to IPs starting with 192.168.14.x will not work as they are outside the address range of traffic tunneled through the VPN. The hosts added to the server list display in the Connect to drop-down list in the AnyConnect GUI. The user can then select from the drop-down list to initiate a VPN connection. The host at the top of the list is the default server, and appears first in the GUI drop-down list.

Configuration security risks

Design and implementation of a VPN can be complicated. If you’re not sure how to keep it up and running safely, consider bringing in an experienced network security professional to make sure VPN security hasn’t been compromised.

Reliability

Since VPN connections run off the Internet, you need to choose an Internet service provider (ISP) that consistently delivers excellent service with minimal to no downtime.

Scalability

If you need to add new infrastructure or create new configurations, you may run into technical problems due to incompatibility—especially if you're adding new products from different vendors.

Slow connection speeds

If you're using a VPN client that provides free VPN service, your connection speed may be slow, as these providers do not usually offer high-speed connections. Consider whether the speed is sufficient for business needs.

Should you create your own VPN, or buy one?

Instead of trying to build one yourself, you can buy a prebuilt VPN solution. If you're shopping for VPN solutions, ask questions about the ease of configuration.

I had a rented comcast router plugged to my time capsule. The time capsule was in bridge mode, and I was using its wireless network. With this setup, I could use the Cisco AnyConnect to connect to VPN normally. I recently purchased a modem from Arris (SB6141) to replace the rented modem. Since it is not a router, I cannot use the time capsule in bridge mode. Then I set to DHCP and NAT. Since then, every time I try to use the AnyConnect, I get the following message:

'The VPN connection to the selected secure gateway requires a routable IPv4 physical adapter address. Please move to an IPv4 network and retry the connection or select a different secure gateway.'

I have tried to change some options on my time capsule after some searching on Google, but with no success. I did not want to go further and mess things even further. Hopefully somebody can help.
