DD-WRT PPTP access to local network
From ETCwiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchSo 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
