| Post subject: | Good VPN for WRT54GL Router? |
I have a Linksys WRT54GL router flashed with DDWRT firmware. I am looking for a VPN to install on it, paying a reasonable Subscription to use it. I was looking at both Le VPN and Nord VPN Open VPNs but their installation instructions are both onerous. I want a reliable VPN that is EASY (for a simpleton like me) to install. All suggestions welcomed. Please note I not interested in Smart DNS options as these are usually IP sensitive, and I would want to use the router in various locations, including back home near Tel Aviv, all with different IP Numbers. Thanks, Amos. |

FWIW Smart DNS is easily changed to use different IP addresses if you apply it at the PC rather than at the router or modem. It's just a matter of logging into their web site and checking a box to update the IP. It will work with several devices. Some service providers, notably the BBC, are wise to the use of VPNs and will block them. |

I will look at using Smart DNS method, certainly much easier to program the router that way. Which Smart DNS provider would you recommend? Amos. |

I use the one called SmartDNS - https://www.smartdnsproxy.com I have found it reliable and the after sales service is good. I have it running on five devices to watch live TV from BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and All4. |

The setup instructions talk about Static DNS settings 1, 2, and 3 but the Smart DNS location list only gives one for each location, not 3 (?). Or do you select the 3 locations nearest to you? Amos. |

I don't think it matters much, but I use Israel as primary and Italy as secondary. |
