What is the additional cost to use the VPN software?

None. The VPN server is available as a "package" and client software is included.

Depends on what you are trying to do. To run a VPN server on the Synology it cost nothing. You need to download the VPN app, configure it, setup some port forwarding and you should be able to VPN into your network via the Synology fairly easily using openVPN. I'm not sure if there is a client option from your synology out to a VPN provider, but if that is what your are trying to do then that will cost some money. Usually $10-$20/month depending on the provider. If this is what you are trying to do then I recommend buying a stand-alone router that is compatible with dd-wrt or tomato. You can configure the router on a sub-net to your your current network, setup the VPN client on the new router, and any computer connected to that router will be directed to the VPN service with out any additional setup on that computer. This is convenient if you us a lot of VPN to mask your traffic outbound from your network.

I used it behind ISP's DSL modem, so I'm not sure, your best bet is check the approved model list against your current DSL subscription, ISP like you pay them monthly 'rental' fee, use your own equipment, they can point finger to your responsibility when there's connection problem

In the original implementation - probably 5 years ago now- they did have a monthly service fee - but quickly discarded it . I am not aware of any reserved rights - and I have not been charged for either of my 2 devices. Remote access is to their server.... via an app - they have one for desktops and another for smartphones both are excellent. I am very impressed with how well these 2 devices enable us to save meaningful money on HVAC costs. Also, it shows me year over year comparisons - with and without degree days adjustments. There are a ton of features - but all readily accessible. Hope that helps.

The product will not contain a VPN license. Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you and have a good day.

It can be expanded with software it has an additional cost. I will find out the cost and will get back to you tomorrow.

There is no subscription fee. The software is included with the unit and does not require any subscription or activation.

I am not sure about the price, but I downloaded the 30 day trial version, liked it (upgrading from older version), so I simply provided payment information when requested and was given the information codes to make the files permanent. Only problem is that I do not have a backup disk, and I need to look into that so you might inquire about this before you finalize the purchase. I hope this answer helps.Dave Kerkes, Ph.D., P.E.

This router supports OpenVPN but configuration isn't simple. If the installed software doesn't do it, it can run dd-wrt which does. If what you're looking for is something that can pass through a VPN connection, this can also do that. I don't recall if it came with a disc, but it is a router, there's no software to install. Once you've done initial configuration you can set it up to allow a remote user to connect to it using https.

I am not expert in this field, I know only a little. We used this router to connect Windows 7, XP HOME EDITION AND A KINDLE. OUR INP is Clearwire (Clear) our cost remain the same and we can add another computer, etc without charge. I think your INP would determined the cost and not the router. Betty

Yes. Easy to implement, just use the VPN wizard and enter the local and wan IP addresses properly. Works reliably. I get 50Mbps/25Mbps throughput. I just upgraded to the Netgear SRX5308 which gives me 110Mbps/35Mpbs on cable.

I bought this and it did not have the software in the box, but an activation code that let's you download the software online for free and set up an account. The only hardware was a plug adapter that adapts a CAT 5e cable plug to the ethernet card that is in your generator (if you have one of the listed models). There is no additional charge if you set it up yourself with your laptop with Windows.

No there is no fee. The instruction manual explains how to configure your computer to view the system online. I can view my home system from my computer at work.

I have the same question. Is it worth paying over $200 for the IS enabled version?

Not to the VPN client I am using, which was a bit disheartening. I use StrongVPN from Kazakhstan.
