Hi

 

I have 2 locations both with the same Archer VR2100 router. Let's call them home A and home B.

 

I would like the internet traffic from B to be routed via A, so that all internet traffic in both homes appears to come from home A. 

 

I was hoping to do this with OpenVPN, but I didn't realise that the Archer VR2100 can only operate as an OpenVPN Server and not as an OpenVPN Client (not sufficiently clear from TP-Link marketing materials IMHO).

 

I'm aware that I can set up an IPSec VPN between the 2 locations, but how would I ensure that the internet traffic from home B would appear to come from home B?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Ian

If you're trying to configure an IPSec tunnel between your VR2100, here's how.

If you want to route all the traffic through a VPN server, i.e. accessing the internet by using the VPN Server as a gateway, IPSec  won't do the job - check this FAQ.
