Meraki MX series?

 

I don't like the way they do their licensing (your license runs out, the box is a paper-weight) but they do really well at establishing site-to-site VPNs in some pretty challenging scenarios.  Dynamic IPs and NATs don't really cause them a problem.  Some CGNats do (AT&T I'm looking at you).

Pfsense on Netgate appliances?
I’ve used several of them, while not for this exact purpose they have done the roles but maybe not the amount of VPN traffic.

Hi folks,
Do you have any recommendations for VPN appliances? Specifically: I need to build a site to site VPNs at speeds between 100mpbs and 1 gbit where all but one of the sites are behind an IPv4 NAT gateway with dynamic public IP addresses.
Normally I'd throw OpenVPN on a couple of Linux boxes and be happy but my customer insists on a network appliance. Site to site VPNs using IPSec and static IP addresses on the plaintext side are a dime a dozen but traversing NAT and dynamic IP addresses (and automatically re-establishing when the service goes out and comes back up with different addresses) is a hard requirement.
Thanks in advance,
Bill Herrin
