    Connecting router to VPN server

    by moxb · about 3 years, 6 months ago

    Tags: 

    I have setup VPN IPsec server on Ubuntu, and I was wondering if I can connect my router TP-LINK TD-VG5612 to VPN server, in order to connect my LAN to VPN.
    In a manual https://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/TD-VG5612(UN)_V1_UG.pdf
    on a page 58 it says that you can connect router to server, please look.
    I tried it, but with no success.
    Help anyone?

      I found the following but no mention of using a VPN service.

      1. There’s a setting to allow clients to VPN.
      2. There’s a setup to VPN between two of these routers.

      3. There is no indication of support for any VPN service like Nord or others.

      Given this looks to be some ISP supplied modem+router combo you may have to add a suitable router that supports your choice of VPN services to accomplish this. OR turn your Linux box into a server for the rest of your network. Be aware I don’t write about this here. There are Linux VPN and Linux router forums just for that.
