VPN over Wild Blue

[Navy Pilot]

Hi, am new to this forum. I have a new mountain house and am getting Wild Blue installed. Can't seem to get any good scoop on what to expect with my work VPN's. I use Cisco VPN 4.0 for one account and a custom Netscreen VPN for the other. Can anyone predict whether I will have success or not due to inherent latency on the Sat WAN? House is 60 miles east of San Diego, 4100 ft, with clear southern exposure.

It may or may not work. Wildblue does not offer static IP addresses and you may have a problem with the network letting you sign on.
Ping times will be over 600

I don't how Wildblue is, but I know that Hughesnet sucks over a VPN. The reason is, they use bandwidth accelarators servers that cache a lot of data. When you connect to your VPN, you bypass the server and you run at about 28k. Only by running through their servers does the speed hang out at the 1meg download. Since the latency is so bad on a sat link, i would imagine that Wildblue would be the same way.
