VPN via router

If you want to use VPN via your router to enable devices that have no VPN connectability (or to save time from setting them up), then you probably can.

First,you have to check with DD-WRT.com if your router is supported with a DD-WRT firmware, which ensures your router can connect directly to a VPN server. If so, then upgrade your firmware to the latest DD-WRT firmware for your router from DD-WRT.com. Usually instructions to connect via DD-WRT are provided by your VPN provider.

Second, for OpenVPN protocol: In order to work, script (provided by your VPN provider) may require BIG, MEGA, or VPN version of the DD-WRT firmware.

For PPTP or L2TP protocol: after you are done inputting values (provided by your VPN provider) in Setup > Basic Setup : Apply Settings -> check with http://ipaddress.com/ -> if not working then try other IPs for a while -> if still not working then restart router by Administration -> Management -> Reboot Router.

Third, whenever you connect to VPN via the router, the router disables passthrough for the protocol used in order to work via the router. So after you are done, you probably won't be able to connect to PPTP via PC; to fix that: Security -> VPN Passthrough -> select Enable for PPTP -> Apply Settings.

NOTE TO REVIEWED BUSINESS

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and every one should learn from their errors rather than being offended by them.

If you take this post positively and learn from it I would delete it and might actually recommended your business to others, without any need to stress yourself and threaten someone for sharing their story and voicing their opinion.

Fact is most people will take up your product / service out of emotion will find out themselves, if they find it's no good they will comment about it virally if not publicly anyway. Considering that I not only help a few from finding out about it, but from further spreading the word about it probably in much more popular forums.

Trying to take revenge from someone is like burning your house down to rid of a mouse, and trying to take it from someone for simply spreading the word is like trying to bomb an entire neighborhood because by doing this you are not only not benefiting from feedback, but you are revealing the impression that you are not willing to improve, and you are opposing all those who believe in the right for having and expressing an opinion, not to mention ones who believe in the value of feedback.
