Double click on the router model to see its page.ģ. This is very important – each router model has unique setup instructions and a recommended DD-WRT build to download. Search the Router Database for the model of router you're intending to turn into the VPN router. The examples in this tutorial are going to assume it's 192.168.1.1, but depending on your router model it could be 192.168.0.1, 10.1.1.1 or really any .x or 10.1.x.x variation.Ģ. Make a note of your primary router's LAN IP address (that's the one you use in a browser to access the router admin console). Before you startīefore we get started on the setup, there are a couple of things you should do:ġ. Perform a search for a router model name here, and a list will come up revealing whether the router is supported or not. To check if a given router is supported by DD-WRT, head to the website and click on the Router Database. The router needs to be supported by DD-WRT, which is the name of the firmware we'll be using. We'll be installing special firmware on this router that lets you set it up as a VPN client. To make this happen, you'll need a second broadband router, one with an Ethernet WAN port (not an ADSL or cable modem router). You can, of course, bounce devices between them as needed, just by connecting to different WiFi networks. Any device connected to the VPN router (again, either wirelessly or with wires) will be routed through the VPN. When this is done any device that you connect to the primary router – either physically through a wired connection or through WiFi – will have regular internet service.
