This guide will help you set up a VPN connection on a TP-Link router with basic original firmware using the PPTP and L2TP protocols.
Most TP-Link routers are already ready to work with VPN out of the box, so you don’t have to do anything extra with the firmware..
If you are just looking for a router for yourself and want to easily configure it to work with VPN in the future, pay attention to the specification. Among other functions, it should mention the support of "VPN". Example of such a router.
Now, let's move on to the setup:
Router Control PanelAny configuration of the router begins with going to its control panel. To enter the TP-Link router, go to http://192.168.1.1/ or http://192.168.0.1/ , and log in.
Information about the login and password can be found in the instructions or on the back of the router. Usually this is admin/admin, and we recommend that you change the password to a more complex one in the future.
PPTP /L2TPGo to the Network section, then WAN .
Now, let's configure the connection. At the top of the page, select PPTP/PPTP Russia from the drop-down list, under the fields: Username, Password, Server address.
To continue the configuration, you will need an access code for our service. You can get it after payment or request a trial period.
- Username: your access code, which is 12-16 digits.
- Password: the default is 4 digits, but you can think of a more complex one.
- Dynamic IP
- IP address/Server name: server ip-address, which looks like numbers separated by dots.
After filling in all the fields, click Save at the very bottom of the page. Scroll to the top and click the Connect button. Upon successful connection, check if your IP address has changed.
