Hi Folks,

 

I am considering buying the RBK53 system, but wondering if it is possible to install / configure a VPN onto the router? The requirements of my VPN is the router supports Tomato or DD-WRT firmware. Can anyone enlighten me if this is possible?

 

As an added bonus and I realise this isn't the correct forum for this extra question...If I install the VPN on my router, does that mean I do not have to install it on my devices? Just asking if anyone has done this before.

 

Many thanks

KG

Orbi does NOT suppport Tomato or DD-WRT.

Orbi does include VPN support using OpenVPN.  VPN is for remote clients to connect to Orbi, not to encrypt outgoing connections from your LAN to the Internet.

To connect to Orbi's LAN from outside the home using the VPN requires an OpenVPN client on your remote devices.
