How do I set the VPN client to access a remote VPN server?

A VPN client is a terminal device or software used to establish a secure connection between a user and a VPN server.

 

What is VPN?

VPN (Virtual Private Network) helps you access internet resources remotely, securely, and privately with tunneling technology. The VPN encrypts your personal information and hides your IP address from the public when you use the internet. To the users of the VPN, it will look like the computers were directly connected to each other.

 

Common Network Topology:

 

 

Here we take WR2100 as a demonstration.

 

Step 1: Open a web browser and go to http://cudy.net or http://192.168.10.1

For details, please refer to How to log into the web interface of Cudy Router?

Step 2: Click on General Settings->VPN and enable VPN.

Default Rule: Allow all devices or Ban all devices to use VPN.

To specify the device, click on System Status-> Devices->VPN to enable or disable it.

Site-to-Site: Allow the devices in two sites to communicate with each other.

VPN Policy: 

Disable: No additional setting.

VPN kill switch: Turn off the Internet connectivity when the VPN connection is lost.

Domain: Specify which domains go through the VPN and which don't

Remote Subnet: Specify what subnets go through the VPN and which don't

Step 3: In the Protocol list, select the one you need and enter the VPN information provided by your VPN provider.

 

• PPTP VPN

Enter the VPN server address (for example, 113.92.73.163) and the VPN Username and password provided by your VPN provider.

 

• L2TP VPN

Enter the VPN server address (for example 113.92.73.163), VPN username and password, and pre-shared key provided by your VPN provider.

If your VPN provider also provides you the tunnel IP which binds with the account, you can enable the Use custom tunnel IP option.

 

• OpenVPN 

Click on Browser to import the configuration file provided by your VPN provider.

 

 

• WireGuard VPN

 

Click on Browser to import the configuration file provided by your VPN provider.

The Interface and Peer will synchronize automatically from your VPN Provider's CONF File.

 

 

 

• ZeroTier Slave

Type in the ZeroTier Network ID and Gateway provided by the ZeroTier Master. The Gateway can be found on VPN Status part.

“Good morning,
I bought a WR3000 Router and I configured the VPN and it’s fine except that I would like to know how to make sure that all the traffic is clear and that only for a specific site, for example “www.google.com”, everything passes under VPN. I tried to do different configurations but nothing, all traffic goes through VPN regardless of the settings, whether I put “Allow all devices” that if I put the option “Exclude all devices.”
How can I do it?
Thank you”
