Summary

The 6.5.3 NCOS release introduces a simple to configure Auto VPN feature. This feature provides secure, resilient VPN sessions that can withstand drops in connectivity and the failover transition from one WAN interface to another. Auto VPN is a GRE over certificate based IPSec tunnel configuration between a Cradlepoint Hub and Cradlepoint Spoke routers. Traffic from selected spoke LANs can be directed as full or split tunnel.
