Good evening guys,
I'm not an expert by any means, so please bear with me. Hopefully I can explain what I'm looking to do so it makes sense to you guys.
The Asus N66U is running 3.0.0.4.270.25 (Merlin build). I am able to VPN using the PPTP server to access my router from abroad. However, I want to have the N66U acting as an OpenVPN client so that all outgoing traffic from my router is encrypted as well. Essentially I have:
Laptop>>>>PPTP Server to N66U>>>>N66U>>>>Ipredator OpenVPN>>>Internet
Whenever I enable the Ipredator OpenVPN client mode, I am unable to connect to my router via the PPTP server. Can the N66U be a PPTP server & OpenVPN client at the same time? The router will run both PPTP server & OpenVPN client at the same time with no problem, but when OpenVPN client mode is turned on....I'm unable to connect to the PPTP server from my laptop.
I know it's not ideal to have it set up this way, but this is what I'm looking to do if at all possible. If it is not possible, will I need two routers to set this up? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I want to be able to go anywhere in the world and access my router, plus have all outgoing traffic from my router going through Ipredator. I know it's easy to just set up my laptop as a VPN client, but I'm hoping I can set it up the above referenced method.
Thank you all!
