I have a Watchguard 500 (no BOVPN installed) with static IP at my main office. I have to connect 4 PCs in remote office that have dynamic IP DSL connection to the internet. What would be the best and the easiest way to connect these PCs to my main office? Thanks for any help!
 
Well do the remote sites have applianca firewalls? Are you looking for the easiest and cheapest or is cost not an issue? Probably the easiest would be to purchase a 5 pack of remote user vpn licences and use those.

I don't have any additional firewall at the remote site, there is only one site and I have to go thru the router on that site for NAT. I was going to get a SOHO 6tc but I don't have a BOVPN on my 500. DOes it matter? Thanks!
P.S. I do have 5 client MUVPN license.
 
Yes it matters whether or not you have purchased the BOVPN addon for your FB500, you will not be able to establish a BOVPN without the addon to your FB. In my experience there are less problems with BOVPN's compared to the MUVPN but they (BOVPN) are more costly. The MUVPN should workf for you though, you can download and install the version that has Zone alarm I believe.
