Home router that runs a VPN server for iPhone/iTouch in Virtual Private Networking http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21149240 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:38:59 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:38:59 EDT Re: Home router that runs a VPN server for iPhone/iTouch http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21237741 anon : I guess I spoke too soon. I can connect to my wrt54gl rounter vpn. But when it connects to the vpn it disconnects my pc host machine from the internet. It also does not allow me to connect thru VNC (mocha lite).

What am I doing wrong? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21237741 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:31:38 EDT Re: Home router that runs a VPN server for iPhone/iTouch http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21231363 mike12806 : I use dd-wrt with a PPTP VPN server, and use VNC app for my iphone to connect to my mac. All my devices, including the VPN client, reside on the 192.168.1.x address space. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21231363 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:11:08 EDT Re: Home router that runs a VPN server for iPhone/iTouch http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21221642 SoonerAl :

i am setting up my wrt54gl router right now. It was $39 at frys. I flashed the DD-WRT24 sp1 firmware.

My Itouch is working with the router and sees and connects to the VPN.

I am trying to get VNC working (it works fine behind the firewall) with the VPN outside the firewall but doesn't seem to like it.

anybody have any ideas?
Can you ping the PC or other PCs through the VPN tunnel? If not it may be a firewall issue on the PC or PCs. If you can't ping then you will never be able to connect.

When you test from a remote location does that site use local addresses in the same range as what is assigned by your VPN server, ie. does the remote location use a 192.168.1.X address range and the same for your home LAN and VPN server? If so you need to change the address range on your home LAN and VPN server to something else, ie. 172.16.X.X for example. Our friend mudtoe has some good advice concerning the use of 172.16.X.X - 172.31.X.X addresses on your home LAN if your trying to connect via a VPN.

»Re: OpenVPN Errors -- MULTI: bad source address from client

If the remote network uses the same address range as your home LAN then you will probably not be able to connect because the remote client is trying to connect to a PC on that LAN.

I bought the gl and it seems to be working fine. I know I had to run a couple scripts on DDWRT for my iphone to connect correctly.

ah thanks. I actually have several ddwrt devices but thought that they only did openvpn.

I will try this out.
Thanks
The PPTP VPN server function is native to almost all versions of DD-WRT.

I am about to get an iPod Touch, but I was wondering if there was a home router that can be a server for a PPTP VPN connection.

I know the D-link DIR 330 is supported, but I have heard of some negatives against running the DIR 330.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I believe using DD-WRT VPN version - this will do the trick for you.

Add $50 for a WRT54GL
