Plug your router into a power socket and then plug one end of an ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports and the other end into the LAN port of your computer.Download the compatible firmware file to your computer.Alternatively, you can buy routers that come pre-flashed with the firmware. Check if your router supports DD-WRT, OpenWRT, or Tomato firmware.You can check if your current router supports DD-WRT firmware on the DD-WRT supported routers database.
It’s essential to do research before you flash your router because doing so on a device that doesn’t support the firmware could break (or ‘brick’) your router. There’s a lot of room for error, which could ultimately compromise your online security and privacy. Tomato is an open-source, VPN-enabled firmware for routers.Īfter that you have to input a series of commands on the flashed router to create a VPN server and then configure the device you wish to use as the VPN client. Troubleshoot any issues with the VPN – these could be server or client-related.Connect to the VPN (away from your home network) and test for any leaks.Unzip the files and copy them over (wirelessly or using a USB cable) to the VPN client folder on the device you wish to connect to the VPN.Download the configuration files for your VPN clients (devices like Windows, macOS, and smartphones) from the router’s control panel.Now set up your VPN client – that’s the device you will be using to connect to the VPN. Confirm these settings by clicking ‘Apply’.Make sure that you allow clients using the VPN connection to access all sites on the internet and home network.
Go into Settings (or Advanced Settings) > VPN Service.If you haven’t already changed this, both parts will probably be ‘admin’.
