How do I connect my TP-Link router to a VPN server?

Before you start configuring the router and the server, it's necessary that you know how to set up a VPN on a PC or laptop.

You can use our tutorial or if you know absolutely nothing about networking, you can watch these 2 videos on setting up your first VPN from scratch: Step 1: On your laptop, sign in to your TP-Link account. If you don't have an account already created you can create one for free, and then start the process of connecting your device to your WLAN or modem.

Once you're logged in and have logged into your router account, click WAN Settings in the top right of your TP-Link device. After scrolling down and reaching the bottom of the WAN Settings page, there will be an item on the list called Connection Status. Click on it.

A sub menu should open which will have a link called VPN. Scroll down and click on it.

You will be asked to pick a service provider from a list of servers for your access point which may look very complicated. Don't worry; we'll walk you through it with some simple rules and explanations. First, choose the option you want to create.

Once you've selected the service provider of your choice you'll be taken to the next screen which is to input your username and password for the new service you're creating. You'll need a username and a password combination that makes sense. The username needs to match the user name for your WLAN and broadband connection, so you could pick the same user name as a combination or just pick a random name that makes sense. The second input is the password for the wireless user that has access to this service.

After inputting your login information and clicking Continue, there will be another screen you'll need to fill out. Here you need to make sure that you fill out all the available data, including the Password Encryption Method and IPv4 and IPv6.

Make sure to select encryption as SHA-1 for your password encryption method. For security reasons, using only the strongest encryption method is recommended, as hackers may have already discovered weaknesses in weaker methods.
