What's the setup for a site-based VPN? This is the first I'm ever hearing about it


Consumer or business grade router that has a built in VPN client. On the consumer side you can often flash OpenWRT/DD WRT/PfSense to add a VPN client.

But for a more reliable setup you want a business-grade router which supports it natively.


Basically you have a router such as the Cisco [880] take care of the encryption and extends the corporate private network into the home office.

Just FTR, you can (almost?) just as easily use VyOS. It is open source and supports IPSEC site-to-site.
