Setting up router for the first time

matrixebiz

Hello, I’m thinking of configuring my Router (First time user) with DD-WRT and OpenVPN using these instructions;
http://www.howtogeek.com/64433/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-on-your-dd-wrt-router/

1) It says on the page : “OpenVPN is an open-source VPN solution that is (drum roll) free” but your service at https://www.privatetunnel.com I have to pay for Data or am I missing something?

2) I’ve downloaded a US server profile from Private Tunnel to use on my Router but was wondering if I have to upload a profile to my Router every time I want to use/change to a different Country with the VPN?

Thank you

That is correct.

okay, I'll check it out and see how I make out. Not sure if i can use your service though because on that instruction page I have to download a specific VPN add-on for the Linksys WRT54GL router but that VPN bin is not available for my TP-Link router so not sure if I'll get the VPN tab after I install the DD-WRT firmware on my router.
