Re: Wireless Bridge/Repeater

Thanks very much! Yes, I think you're correct, it's a VLAN rather than a VPN. I got it up and running using option 2 since I have only one device attached to the router (Gargoyle v1.15). I have one question though, under Connection > Basic > Internet / WAN > Wan Ethernet Port: Should it be set to Di...

Re: Wireless Bridge/Repeater

I'm trying to connect a wired device to my wireless network using a gargoyle router. My apartment building uses Aerwave for it's residents to connect wirelessly to the Internet. The building gives each apartment their own password, then Aerwave sets up a VPN for all the devices that use that passwor...

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

I was wondering whether the packets would be forwarded to the right place. However, after reading a little, I see that Verizon's firmware on this router handles static IP addresses in a nonstandard way. Normally, static IP's are set directly on the device to an address outside the DHCP server range....

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

I already tested this offsite, everything works fine. The real test will be when or if my router ever decides to assign it a new ip address, then will the port forwarding follow it.

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally got this up and running. The key problem I had was that I was running it as a bridge instead of a gateway. Thanks also for the other tips, changing the encryption got rid of the error messages, and switching to TCP 443 allows me to bypass the restricted acces...

I tried to post them but got an error that they were too large. What size files does this site accept?

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

So far I'm having only partial success. I've installed Gargoyle on a Netgear WNDR4300 router, setup OpenVPN server, and setup a client using Tunnelblick on a Mac. I can connect to the server but can't reach the internet. I can ping the gateway and other devices on the local network, but can't ping a...

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

I think I have everything setup, except for trying to use port 443. When I set the OpenVPN Port: to 443, and try to save, I get the error - OpenVPN server port conflicts with web server port. Changes could not be applied. So I guess I have to disable a web server port, but not sure where to find thi...
