Thinking about this more, my idea is: 1) Set Router A to access point mode 2) Config Router A using OpenVPN to connect to the internet via PIA 3) Connect Router A to Router B 4) Let router B handle IP allocation and be my main router etc. So if I connect my PC to router A and type in...

Is this possible? For example, connect the second router dedicated for VPN to my main router, then config the VPN router to connect directly to a service like PIA, going through my main router? Could this work? For example: Device >> ethernet cable >> Router A (VPN setup using PIA) >>...

Hi all. Is it possible to select certain IPs on router 1 (a N56U) and channel them through a VPN tunnel to router 2 (another n56u), while leaving all other IPs on router 1 alone? For example, if I have a device on router 1's network with IP 192.168.1.15, how do I channel that specific...

Sweet, because if I can do that, surely once the VPN is connected, if I type in 192.168.16.1 on my local machine, it will then point to the remote router and give me the login screen? Isnt this the easiest way to do this?

Guys, is it possible to assign a new IP to my router on the N56U? For example, by default, Asus uses 192.168.1.1. Is is possible to give it a static IP of say 192.168.16.1? Thanks.

Cool I will do this tonight, thanks. Are there any other tips for getting remote PCs/folders to show up under My Network once the VPN connects, just in case this doesnt work?

I assume you are referring to the MAC whitelist I mentioned? Ah ok then, thanks. This wont offer me that protection :(

Sorry for all the questions. Another thing I wanted to clear up is how can I access the machines/devices on the remote network. After the VPN connects, I cant see them in My Network. I know some of the IPs overlap (I have static IPs assigned on both sides that overlap). Is this causing the...

Do you guys know if its possible to setup a MAC filter for LAN? Perhaps one thing I can do is to create a MAC white list, add my local machine to the remote router's list, as well as the other LAN devices on the remote server. That way, wont it help protect my router from external attack? Thanks.

SFX - this looks like a good idea. So if I'm reading this correctly. Can I give the remote router a static IP address and name it say 192.168.16.1 for example? And then setup the DNS on the remote router to include a range of say 192.168.16.2 to 192.168.16.999 (and then remove that range from...

Thank you for this info. Yeah I figured this is what I could do as a last resort, with the VPN protecting my password from being intercepted (well I hoped that would be the case, wasnt 100% sure, but you have now confirmed that). However, like you said, the router would be open to attack 24/7...

So I actually did this already and it worked great when I was on location (redirect took place), but when I try to access the URL off location, it doesnt allow me to. I suspect that's because the router is setup to not be accessed remotely (recall there is no encryption on the 56u), and for...

Hi guys - I was hoping someone can help me. I've successfully setup a VPN connection. Im VPN connecting to a N56U router via a Windows 7 PC on a separate network that also connects to the net through a N56U. Web traffic is getting routed correctly (Google thinks my PCs IP is coming from the...

Oh one last question - do you have line of sight to the router? How far are you from it? Thanks.
