Open VPN server and client setup on TP Link Archer C5
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I'm trying to set up a VPN on my TP-Link Archer C5 to enable connections to a different geography.
My VPN provider is surfshark. I'm trying to set up the VPN as per these 2 videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_LyoZkPyz4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIRKcFUgbak
The issue is that I'm able to generate a configuration file on the router but I do not see any option to load the country-specific UDP .ovpn files to the router in order to set up the vpn connection to say - Singapore or India. Is this a limitation of the archer C5 or am I making a mistake here?
VPN connections -
At the moment, I seem to have a VPN between my phone/laptop and my router which is not of much use. Is my understanding correct? On the TP Link Archer C5, i do not see any option to load the various country-specific UDPs provided to me by Surfshark. What is the mistake I'm making? I would appreciate any inputs on it. TIA
The Archer C5 v4 is a router ususally provided by ISPs. So it's quite possible that it doesn't support a VPN Server feature like this:
If you don't have suche menu then you can't use the Open VPN feature on your router.
The same goes for the VPN Client - if it's not in the menu then it's not implemented on your router model.
