Vpn

Hello, I need help I have my VPN set up for my R8000 but I'm not sure if it's running right. When I check my IP at http://ipaddress.com/ it shows my IP and location so I'm not sure if it's working...

    Look on the bottom of the VPN Service page under Advanced Configurations.

    Set the "Clients will use this VPN connection to access" radio button to the value "All sites on the Internet & Home Network". Once that's been saved you'll need to re-download the config files.

    This will force the VPN to run "Full Tunnel" meaning ALL traffic runs through the VPN. http://ipaddress.com should then show your router's location/IP.
