A while back I moved I. With some friends who have a network already set up, but it's not to snuff so I want to set my network up for my use.

I have an ASUS RT-N53 router which has a VPN server built in, but I can't get it to work because it's not connected directly to a modem. Instead, it's connected to Comcast's (horrible) all-in-one modem/wireless router combo, the Technicolor TC8305C.

My router's assigned IP address is 10.0.0.27, the TC is 10.0.0.1. My router currently uses DHCP to assign IP addresses 192.168.1.>1

What do I have to do with the TC to get VPN to work on my router?

Normally I can figure these things out, but this POS modem/router has the worst interface ever designed.

You'd have to port forward the VPN-related traffic to your router through the Comcast device.
 
Is it really that simple? Just forward TCP port 1723?

Very rarely is anything ever that simple.:) What VPN are you using, OpenVPN or something else? What tunneling protocol?
