Use ER605 as a VPN appliance only

a week ago - last edited Monday

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

Hello,

I'm trying to solve a problem using a VPN gateway. My question is:

Can I use the ER605 router without a WAN connection, only 1 single LAN, to act as a VPN gateway?

Explaining better: I don't want to use ER605 as a normal router, the network already have a router/gateway. I want to setup the ER605 using a LAN IP address using the network gateway, enable a VPN client on the ER605 and then setup some devices on my network to use the ER605 as a gateway in order to make their traffic pass through the VPN.

Thanks,

Leonardo
