TP-Link is the most used wireless router in the world and is used to extend a WAN network to connect multiple devices. Setting up PureVPN on your TP-Link router manually is not a hefty task. We used the TP-Link TL-WR940N (c 3. 16.9 Build 150311 Rel.62186n) for this how-to. There are so many models of TP-Link routers, and so not all of them can be entertained namely Archer C7, AC1750, AC1200 etc. routers. However, this should give you a general idea of how the setup process will be.

Things to Consider:

Before you begin, please make sure that:

  • You have a working internet connection
  • VPN Supported Router.
  • Own a premium PureVPN account (If you do not already own one, you can buy a subscription from here.

1 The following image describes how the VPN setup will look like.

2 Access your router control panel and click ‘Network’ from the left panel and then click ‘WAN’.

4 Type in your PureVPN ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ in respective fields as provided by PureVPN. For further instructions on how to check your active PureVPN username and password click here.)

5 Select ‘Dynamic IP’.

6 In ‘Service IP Address’ field Insert your desired server address in ‘VPN Server’. (For server addreses, please refer to the note above.)

7 Click on ‘DHCP’ and then enter Primary and Secondary DNS

Enter-Primary-and-Secondary-DNS

8 Click on ‘Basic Security’ and enable:

  • SPI Firewall
  • PPTP Passthrough
  • L2TP Passthrough
  • IPsec Passthrough

Unable mentioned settings in Basic Security tab

9 Choose whether you would like to be reconnected manually, on demand or always.

reconnect manually on demand or always

10 When you have done the above, click on “Save”.

That’s about it. Enjoy total and unlimited internet freedom with PureVPN!

    since PPTP is known to be a weak protocol, will you be upgrading your service soon?
