Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0.

I am a happy user of openVPN to improve security (avoiding open ports on my router) and simplify the configurations.

Before I changed to a full Omada HW and sw network I was using a commercial VPN service and utilized the VPNfeature to pretended i was in the country of the VPN service.

 

Being in other countries I noticed the origin of my client device (using openVPN) is not hidden with the ER7206 as I receive commercials in the language of the country I stay and not where my Router is situated. In some cases I do want to pretend I am in the router country (e.g. a COVID vaccination appointment is prohibited by the Dutch Covid web-application)

Is there a feature on the ER7206 router and/or a client app/feature I should use to enable this capability in my situation using the ER7206 VPN server and Iphone or macbook?  Any help would be appreciated.

  @jandico It's a limitation on tplink router. If you want to hide your client device IP, you can only use L2TP/PPTP VPN server on the ER7206.

Their OpenVPN is only for accessing router LAN network, does not support proxy Internet.
