Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

My ER605 router is connected to internet via WAN (nothing special), but I want it to act as VPN client and share internet from remote VPN to LAN (as normal PC VPN client work, but on network level). Please don't get me wrong, I do NOT want it to act as a VPN server, which most other people want.

 

I successfully estabilished VPN L2TP (ER605 as VPN Client) connection to remote VPN Server and thing seems to work fine as Site-to-Site connection,

but could not find how to configure internet gateway when connected using this tunnel.

 

Setting default gateway at WAN configuration to values from remote VPN (remote VPN server IP or remote gateway) seems crazy and as supposed did not work.

 

Is it even possible with this router?

Dear  @Cobos 

 

The only solution is to set up Policy Routing rule:

 

Service Type: All

Source IP: LAN_Any

Destination: IP Group_Any

WAN: L2TP VPN

Effective time: Any

 

This rule can guide all traffic to go through the VPN tunnel.

Dear @Hank21 
Unfortunately, this option did not work for me at first try. All internet traffic went offline. I will do more tests in the following days.

It works for me but I'm using a L2TP Client to LAN connection. If you are using LAN-to-LAN you may try change the connection type

If anyone will get here. Finally it worked. My connection was already Client-to-LAN (but devices visible in both directions like site-to-site). The clue is to set "working mode: NAT".
