portable 3G Router - OpenVPN solution

mannomann

Hello!

After some hours of research I need your support:

I want to get my Iphone and Macbook connected to an openVPN-Provider through a 3G Wi-Fi-Router.
Both should have independently access to the vpn, so I can shut down the Macbook and go on being connected to your service with my iphone.

1.) Is there a way to configure a 3G router (Huawei E5330, TP-Link M5350 (http://www.amazon.de/TP-Link-M5350-Wireless-N-Standard-SIM-Kartensteckplatz-microSD-Kartenslot/dp/B00C5V8XA6/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1447800718&sr=8-3-fkmr2&keywords=3g+openvpn+router)or other models) in a way that it is ONLY transmitting through your OpenVPN servers?
Do i need other routers to get that done? Like I found this here: TP-Link TL-WR703N ->https://www.astrill.com/astrill-vpn-routers.php maybe together with an 3G Modem/Dongle and accu.

thanks,
Mike

Yes this is possible. I have a very similar setup. I have a 4G LTE wifi hotspot that is connected to my dd wrt router. I share the hotspot internet through dd wrt router on which i am running an openvpn client.
