So perhaps broadcasts weren't working properly. Oh, I couldn't browse the list of machines with shares on my local LAN. Now I have to worry about PPTP security, since I also saw some links to articles that it may be insecure.

Went to someone else's house, and logged into my LAN. Not sure if that's a bug, or if for some reason it doesn't want you to specify a DNS line.

For some reason though, when I filled in 8.8.8.8 in the DNS line, and hit Apply, it blanked out the DNS again. 10 September 2008Įdit: Got it working, according to the guide. Furthermore, if an address of 0.0.0.0 is entered, then the PPTP server will track the router's WAN address, allowing DDNS to be used. Update: With firmware DD-WRT v24 SP1 on WRT54GL the router's LAN or WAN static address may be used without disturbing the Web interface. What I don't get is, do I have to have a static IP to use VPN? I have a dyndns domain. It's supposed to be one line per user, with the username and password. The help file is very brief, and says to refer to the PPPD man pages for the format of chap-secrets. If I click the radio box to enable PPTP Server, I get these fields. I'm running a standard build (maybe mini build) on broadcom N hardware. Due to the other thread talking about the dangers of an open wifi hotspot, I would like to implement a VPN on my router. I have no clue how this is supposed to work.
