If your DD-WRT router supports OpenVPN, we suggest that you connect to our service by following the OpenVPN setup guide below:

Otherwise, if your,router doesn’t support OpenVPN or you just wish to connect using the built-in PPTP VPN connection, please follow the instructions below:

---

Getting Started

Login to your DD-WRT router control panel by entering the router IP address (Network Gateway) into your web browser.

If you do not know the address of your router refer to the instructions lined below:

Note: The above gateway used is if you wish to connect to our UK (GBR) service. If you wish to connect to any of our other servers, i.e. our USA servers, all you need to do is change the server name on the Gateway (PPTP Server) field. 

 

For a detailed list of server names and countries you can connect to, please refer to our knowledge base article below:

While Router Name is optional, we recommend that you set it up in a way that you recognize this network is a VPN network.

Scroll down to Network Setup and enter the configuration as below:

In the Router IP section, set your Local DNS to 8.8.8.8 and leave the other setting as it is.

In Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) section, set your;

 

Static DNS 1 to  8.8.8.8

Static DNS 2 to  8.8.4.4 

 

Leave every other setting as it is. Once that’s done, click on Save and Apply Settings.
