Thank you for the information. Below is my "now" working setup. Here is what I have setup now and I just tested it and verified it works. Host Name: domain (mydomainname.freemyip.com) Username or E-mail Address: nulluser Password or DDNS Key: Token (abcdef98765ou812) Enable wildcard & WAN IP...

@eibgrad Thanks for the feedback. You are correct, I see no option for Norton Security's VPN to work with the router. I was a NordVPN subscriber for 2 years then I let it drop in favor of Norton VPN (it was already paid for) and it was doing what I desired most of the time. Now I want just a...
