Setting up a VPN possible? I've just bought an Asus AC68U
Hey all
I've just bought an Asus AC68U router with the hope of setting up a VPN on it. I want to have a secure way of viewing my ip cameras without using port forwarding.
Can I setup the Asus as a wireless access point and run a VPN from this?
Thanks

You can only access the VPN server/client tabs etc when It's in router mode, it all disappears when in AP mode.

I've since returned this unit. Any recommedations on a router to use so I can setup a VPN without double NAT / private IP etc?

You'll always struggle with double NAT in one way or another. If you want to run VPN's etc then the best option is to bin off the Q hub and use your own separates or modem/router combo.

Why's that then?
I have 'Q' with 'Q' minis but I'm not on Sky broadband, I was, but even when I had Sky broadband I did not use a Sky supplied router.--------------------------------------------------------
