Running Simultaneous Features on Blue+ : Implementation Questions
Trying to figure out which devices would be best for our needs. After reading through the documentation it's unclear to me what functionalities can run\be implemented simultaneously. Can a Blue+ device operate as a VPN Server and as a VPN Client at the same time? Can a single device support 'site to site' and 'remote access' connections at the same time? Perhaps more importantly here is what we wish to accomplish.
Objectives:
- Establish a permanent 'site to site' VPN between two local networks (A) hosting the server and (b) with a client appliance; thus creating a unified network environment [Ab] such that authorized nodes connected at either location can resolve one another.
[ (A) <=====> (b) ]
- Enable an external user means to periodically connect a single remote node (r) e.g. a laptop running a software client, to the [Ab] network; such that the remote node can resolve devices at either location.
(r) ——> [ (A) <=====> (b) ]
Can either of the following be accomplished with just two Blue+ devices one at (A) and one at (B) or will I need additional/alternative devices?
Site to site and Remote access (r) ——> [ (A) <=====> (b) ]
- A device (r) acts as a 'remote access' client.
- A device (A) acts as server for both 'site to site' and 'remote access' connections at the same time.
- A device (b) acts as a 'site to site' client.
Server and Client (r) ——> [ (A\a) <=====> (B) ]
- A device (r) acts as a 'remote access' client.
- A device (A\a) acts as remote access server and a 'site to site' client.
- A device (B) acts as a 'site to site' server.
Sorry for the obviously noob questions and thanks in advance. What is more, if you know of any particular documentation that I may have overlooked and might be helpful; please recommend.
Thanks.

For site to site VPN (two sites), you can have a mix of blue+/purple/gold. any two will work. But if you want to host more than one site, then, you need at least one Gold to be the center. See https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010465893
