I initially setup a simple PPTP VPN server on the Linksys dd-wrt interface and had this working just fine and was able to remotely connect to my home network using my iPad and the iOS built in VPN client. So the Linksys router is accessible and simply located on my home network at IP address 192.168.7.11 and is effectively connected to my home LAN subnet via a wireless connection. However I have now changed the setup and removed the WAN cable and now use the wireless setup as a client-bridge. I initially set this Linksys up on my home network a bit like a cabled client bridge in that the WAN side of the linksys was assigned a static IP address 192.168.7.7 and the LAN side was set to 192.168.7.11. I have recently gone to my attic and found an old Linksys WRT54GS v4 router and installed DD-WRT firmware v24 with built in VPN. The subnet has lots of devices assigned mainly via DHCP beginning at 192.168.7.100 and above. On the LAN side my gateway IP is address 192.168.7.1 with subnet 255.255.255.0 For explanation purposes I will say that my external WAN address is 78.102.6.128 (obviously not my real address). I am a home user in the UK, my internet provider is Virgin Media and I use their Superhub2. This is my first post on the forum and whilst I thought I had a tiny bit of knowledge of networking and VPN tunnels I find myself a bit lost with OpenVPN.Ī bit of background to how I got to where I am now.
