Hi,
Thanks for reaching out. You will need to access your Router panel to make any changes.
Hope this answers your query, let us know if you still have any questions!
Hello. I am not certain if this has been asked yet – as I am new to PureVPN and setting up the VPN on my Asus Router is something I will try to do when I get home later tonight. however, I am anxious to know the answer to this question –
If I set up the VPN on my Asus Router, how will I be able to change which VPN server I will be using?
Will I need to make the changes on the router, or can I use a client on my Windows machine to do it from home?
Thanks much!

It’s true, Asus shows (X) on
connect status. I go to System log to verify the connection
status and I find
“Initialization
Sequence Completed” at the end, meaning that OpenVPN is successfully
connected. But how can I deactivate the connection? Thanks.
The settings for 3.74 are completely different than above. Secondly it didnt work on the Merlin fork build. It shows error when trying to connect. Please advise.
Hi,
We apologies for the inconvenience. You are suggested to send us screenshots of your Router’s Wan settings page at [email protected] so we may send you set up guide back.
Thanks for understanding!
I posted the instructions for how to get PureVPN to work with OpenVPN using ASUSWRT-Merlin as a comment in the knowledgebase document entitled “Configuration Guide for Asus OpenVPN”. Check the comments in that document for instructions.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Can you please tell me if you are properly connected to ISP modem? because it seems you are using same router for ISP configuration too.
I will be waiting for your response.
There is more to the setup than you describe here. After connecting to the vpn server, I had to go back to the Quick Internet Setup tab and change my connection setup to one that required a user name and password. There are more screens to go through after that to verify the vpn settings. If you don’t go through these additional steps you will not be able to connect to the internet.
Hi Ingo,
Good day. After connecting VPN, please verify your IP, if it shows VPN IP then ignore the router warning. I hope you have got the answer, if you still have any questions or concern, feel free to ask.
Hi, after the configuration and starting the VPN Client the Router says ip conflict.. PPTP is working.
But when PPTP is activ, i can not connect to my nas via DDNS. -> the ip had changed after the activation of the vpn client but still no connection.
