Configuring a PureVPN tunnel on your router is a great way to ensure the safety and security of all the devices in your home. This method is especially beneficial if you have devices that don’t have VPN compatibility or you want to protect all the Wi-Fi-connected devices in your home.

To be able to take advantage of PureVPN across any and all devices via your D-Link router, We used the D-Link DIR 842 (Firmware Version L 2.x) for this how-to. There are so many models of D-Link routers, and so not all of them can be entertained. However, this should give you a general idea of how the setup process will be, here is what you need to do:

Things to Consider:

  1. You have a working internet connection.
  2. VPN Supported Router.
  3. A Premium PureVPN account (If you haven’t bought yet click 👉here to buy)
Find your VPN credentials for manual configuration.

To find your VPN credentials log into the PureVPN member area. Click 👉 here to visit member area.

  • Login to the Member area using your PureVPN registered email address and password.
  • On subscriptions tab scroll down to be able to view your VPN credentials.
  • You will be able to see and copy your VPN credentials.
  • Note down your PureVPN username and click on Eye icon to make your password visible and use it in the manual configuration.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out. It seems you would like to use “Internet Kill Switch” on your router, if this is the case then we are afraid we do not offer this feature on Router yet. This is only available in our apps.

    Feel free to contact us if you have further questions!

          Yes and unfortunately it appears that you “do not share IP ranges of our servers with customers as per our policy”…meaning that I will be unable to configure the router.

    Hi Clay,

    I am sorry for the inconvenience. It seems that this issue is related to your IS, so I suggest you should contact your ISP. Meanwhile you can try to connect your computer / laptop via same router and go to command prompt , run command ipconfig and press enter there you will find gateway, enter the same gateway in browser and then check.

    Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

    I am trying to access my DLink router from a wireless connection via my macbook air (no ethernet port). When I try the three admin urls (http://192.168.1.1/, 0.1, and http://dlinkrouter/) the request times out and does not load the router. I had previously accessed the router via this route while configuring a different VPN service about 6 months ago. Any idea why I can’t connect? Alternate options?

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out to us. If you are using your router as ISP modem then you cannot configure PureVPN on your ISP modem/router you have to attach additional router to configure PureVPN on it with PPTP connection type.

    Feel free to contact us if you have further question!
