Thank you for your reply!
It it is very much appreciated.
i must admit I am disappointed though. It would seem that this is a very basic functionality.
i like the functionality of wisp and LAN plus NAT FW and USB charging; however, had I known the lack of VPN support I would not have purchased it.

is there anything that can be done to assist?
Thank Ng you in advance.
