Yes, and on some Linksys units it works, others it doesn't. Same with
port forwarding, and on one wireless unit everything works without
using any WEP but as soon as WAP is enabled it won't route a VPN. I
have a 54G unit that straight out of the box ran a VPN in the lab just
fine, enable WEP and it stops.
I have the luxury of choosing a broadband router most of the time, so
if something other than Linksys works I'm open to trying it. Within
reason, I'm not looking for the $1,000 guaranteed solution, but a
reasonable price difference isn't objectionable.
