#Setup pia vpn client on dd wrt how to

By default, all your clients will be routed over the VPN. Now assign a static IP from the Verizon’s network to the WAN ip of the dd-wrt router, and place that same IP address in the DMZ of the Verizon.Īt that point you should be able to access the internet from any client behind the dd-wrt router (this is before the VPN is active or even installed). So if the Verizon is using 192.168.1.x, perhaps make the dd-wrt 192.168.2.x. Also place the dd-wrt router in its own network. IMO, what you should do is configure the dd-wrt router like any other router, then daisy-chain its WAN to a LAN port on the Verizon router. Posted: Sun 23:35 Post subject: DD-WRT Turn off NAT Left 'DHCP Server' to disabled, and that combo seemed to do the trick. I chose 'Static IP' for WAN Connection Type, and assigned a WAN IP address in the range offered by my Verizon Router. Got it working! MY 3 day project seems to be complete, and my wife is certainly almost as happy about this as I am.

I've searched online for HOURS but am not able to find a tutorial or anything on this. Should this be Gateway?ĭo I need to change any settings in the Verizon router? I tried using the DMZ setting for the Netgear router's ip address but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Settings I have tinkered with but am not sure how to configure: I can manually set them to 192.168.2.x and they can connect to the router, but not the internet. The problem is, once I change it to 192.168.2.1 all devices lose the internet. I tried changing the local address of Netgear to 192.168.2.1, with the idea that devices connected to that would have 192.168.2.x ip addresses.

I cannot seem to figure out how to have devices connect to the Netgear router, through the VPN, and not just connect to the primary router instead (Verizon MI424WR Router) I also was able to get OPENVPN configured and working with PIA which I thought would be the hard part. I just purchased the Netgear AC1450 and succesfullyįlashed DD-WRT. Posted: Fri 1:13 Post subject: Setting up second router with VPN
