I use PureVPN PPTP on a WRT54GL v1.1 Linksys running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09)vpn plugged into a Linksys 5 port switch which is attached to my DSL modem. (I have two IP addresses from my service provider)
It has one simple purpose: To give me a USA IP address so I can watch Netflix, HULU etc on my Apple TV's.
For some incomprehensible reason, PureVPN uses the following system of connecting:
<w*w.purevpn.com/vpn-service/router-vpn.php>
Using the following script:
As with any VPN, it repeatedly disconnects. But, with this setup, the traffic defaults to WAN and the only way of reconnecting is to reboot the router.
Three questions:
(1). Is there a way under this setup to force the PPTP VPN to auto reconnect or auto-reboot the entire router at least?
(2). Is there a way to block traffic from defaulting to WAN when the VPN is disconnected?
(3). Is there another way to configure the router so it connects like StrongVPN's setup works:
<h**p://strongvpn.com/setup_dd-wrt_pptp.shtml>
so the auto reconnect that is built into DD-WRT works?
Can anyone help?
If all else fails, I am very willing to even build a dedicated PPTP client/router out of an old computer and a few NIC's if anyone could point me at a software that would work.
I just need something that will connect to PureVPN and STAY that way.
