No sooner had I transitioned from third world-esque comcast modem to FiOS that I realized my VPN connection was not working. Seeing as on occasion I am lucky enough to be one of those people whose morning commute invovles rolling out of bed, donning a pair of pajama pants, some fuzzy slippers and firing up the VPN connection; VPN is extremely important. After talking to the FiOS installation tech, he told me there is a known issue with packets becoming intermingled with their video on demand services as it all travels through the same pipe. He was not sure how to fix it, but assured me he would put me in touch with his supervisor. Being the impatient technophile that I am, I hit the interwebs to see if they had a solution. After some incessant googling, trial and error, forwarding ports, etc. I came across an answer.
So, here it is. My solution to VPN on FiOS with the Actiontec router. (This may not work for everyone, but if it you can reach just one person... and all that) So, I fired up the admin console for the router, go to advanced, and go to "Quality of Service". Under "QoS Input Rules" => "WAN PPPOE Rules" click add, then set the Priority to 7 - Highest. That should do it! No crawling back to comcast on my hands and knees!
