Hi, I would like to create a VPN connection and create a wifi network for it. So when I connect to that WIFI, I am connected to a particular country’s vpn. Like I can use Fastest VPN app on phone and connect to another country’s server and view pages which are there. Can someone help with this setup or guide me a little bit.
So you’ll need a VPN server to connect to and all the connection / login settings or a subscription to Nord etc.
How fast is your net connection cos a 605 can’t do much in the way of VPN traffic.
As far as I know Wireshark is the fastest option
My net is 500 up down.
I got one from fastestvpn
What should be my external server address ? WAN IP correct ?
You need to ask the VPN provider for the details like server IP logins PW etc
Don’t expect any more than 80Mb depending on what protocol you use.
Found out my service metronet used cgnat
I got OPENVPN setup working. I had wrong port number for that particular server. Now, I will test it out when I get a chance to go online and see if it pulls that country’s content
Openvpn is limited to 10mb on a 605. FYI
Which would be faster ?
The issue here is the hardware ( 605 ) it was never really designed for what you want to do. You can change the VPN protocols but your still going to be limited to 50-80Mb maximum with some really old weak encryption.
Got it. I tried looking. I want to get indian server. And all providers have openvpn as option only. Which has limited speed on ER605 side.
Tbh openvpn is the only one I would use nowadays.
How about a cheap/old PC running opnsense etc? plenty of hardware grunt for 1Gb+ if you don’t mind learning your way around the software. It’s good fun for someone geeky.
Since ER605 has more speed support on L2TP. You are saying I can set a old pc running it all day in india and point my ER605 (US) to that ?
No, ditch the 605 and replace it with PC, point the PC to India over VPN
I mean if you can arrange a PC in India on 24/7 with a good net connection we could work with that.
