Hello Joseph,

To answer your questions:

1. I'm using Hotspot mode, connected to a WiFi network. The TL-WR3602BE is a v1.0 hardware build and the firmware is 1.2.0 Build 20250911 rel.74429.

2. I double checked my login data with my PureVPN app in Windows 11, they're OK

3. As I wrote in my first post, I'm using PureVPN

4. I'm located in Germany

5. I'm trying to use the built-in PureVPN Client in the TL-WR3602BE, the setup instructions link you gave me should not be relevant, as the TP-Link PureVPN client is pre-installed

6. I'm trying to use the Client for outgoing traffic, I'm not interested in the Server and I'm not trying to install the Server

7. When I enter my PureVPN login data I get a 404 error message, i.e. the TP-Link PureVPN app tries to connect to a page which is not available.

 

My steps:

1. I go to the VPN Clients Service Page and select PureVPN

 

 

2. I select "I have a PureVPN account"

 

 

 

 

3. I enter my login data (the ones which work fine with my Windows 11 client...)

 

 

4. And I get the following reply...

Hi,

 

To determine whether the problem lies within the Tether app or the router's firmware, could you please try to setup the PureVPN connection via the web management interface of the TL-WR3602BE ?

 

In case http://tplinkwifi.net doesn't work, then try http://192.168.0.1 or whatever the current LAN IP address of your TL-WR3602BE is.

Hi Woozle,

 

I did as you asked and was able to set up a Wireguard connection via PureVPN, by using the config file for DD-WRT provided by PureVPN.

Interestingly enough, the web U/I didn't provide a pre-installed PureVPN option...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I downloaded the WireGuard DD-WRT config file from the PureVPN website and used it in the manual setup.

 

All in all, it seems as if the Tether app for Android is the culprit...

 

As a side comment: to hide the option to setup a vpn client under the VPN Merge menu item is confusing.... It would be better to split these two functionalities and put them under two visible menu items.
