So you just setup DD-WRT on your router, enabled a PPTP server for inbound VPN connections, but you cant connect to local area network computers under the router.

This is my guide on how to share your Local Area Network computers with your PPTP VPN clients using DD-WRT firmware.

My Router Setup

  • Router LAN IP: 192.168.0.1
  • Firmware: DD-WRT v24SP2-MULTI (07/09/12) std
  • DHCP: Enabled
  • DHCP start: 192.168.0.100
  • Max DHCP Users: 50

DDWRT PPTP setup

Change these options in Services > VPN > PPTP Server

  • PPTP Server: Enable
  • Broadcast Support: Disable
  • MPPE Encryption: Enable
  • DNS1: 192.168.0.1
    • This is my LAN IP for my router
  • DNS2: blank
  • WINS1: blank
  • WINS2: blank
  • MTU: blank (1450)
  • MRU: blank (1450)
  • Server IP: 192.168.0.2
    • This is my routers IP + 1
  • Client IPs: 192.168.0.240-246
  • Max Associated Clients: 6
  • Authentication: Local User Management (CHAP Secrets)
  • CHAP-Secrets:
myuser * mypassword *

DDWRT PPTP share LAN

This enabled LAN computers to be visible to the PPTP client. Change this in Setup > Advanced Routing (add a new route)

  • Route name: PPTPlan
  • Metric: 0
  • Destination LAN NET: 192.168.0.0
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway: 192.168.0.1
  • Interface: ANY
