Hi
I'm looking to get a VPN service. Do I have to set it manually on the router?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

It depends what it is you're hoping to achieve? You can't run a VPN endpoint (i.e. a VPN service you'd connect to when away from home) natively on the router as it doesn't offer that functionality.
You could run a VPN endpoint on a device behind the router (i.e. on your local network), you'd just need to forward the necessary ports on the router to the local device.
If you're just talking about running a VPN client (i.e. software on a device you use to connect to a VPN outside of your network), then you needn't do anything with the router as it would all be handled using UPnP.
VPN services like this one (no affiliation), are client solutions and intended to cover traffic to/from the device you're running the VPN on, e.g. a smartphone or laptop computer, rather than your entire network.

Neither of those are VPN providers, they're content providers. If you're wanting to configure your Roku box to route traffic via a VPN though, then you'd need to use the virtual router method because the Hub One won't support it. I have no personal experience of doing this though, so if you get stuck, you're on your own.

Hi Bob, I hope it's ok to jump on this thread.
I'm looking to set up a VPN server on my Synology Diskstation, with L2TP/IPsec.
When trying to forward port 4500 on my Thomson router I get this error;
Virtual Server Add Error |
Add virtual server named VPN failed. Status: Duplicate Entry protocol:2,EPS:4500,EPE:4500,IPS:4500,IPE:4500, it has been used. |
All other ports required I have managed to forward successfully.
Do you have any tips on how to successfully forward port 4500. I'm not aware of port 4500 being forwarded to any other device on my network.
Thanks for your time.
Iain.

@moffat2000 I think you'll find that the TG582 has an in-built helper function on port 4500. See this thread https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/Technicolor-TG582n-VPN-port-4500/td-p/1110597
Before you can apply your portforward, you'll need to disable it with the commands as indicated in that thread
connection unbind application ESP
connection unbind application AH
saveall
Hope that helps

I’m using a OSX. In terminal I’m typing;
telnet “router IP” (enter)
Access is refused.
Never telnetted before so I imagine I’m missing something obvious. Can anyone help?

Looks like telnet may have been removed in later versions of the OS.
