Hi, I am not a tech person but am able to installed Tomato firmware to my Asus RT-N16 via web instruction. Now, a program I used do not support SSH socks setting, so that is why I used OpenVPN thinking it will route external request to router as if I was home, then show my router external ip instead. I installed OpenVPN 2.14 stable version on Windows XP Pro and all same setting as instructed by [url]http://www.howtogeek.com/60774/connect-to-your-home-network-from-anywhere-with-openvpn-and-tomato/[/url] and successfully connected to my home router. However, when I check my ip at many of the what is my ip website, it showed only those wireless ip from cafe or free hotspot I used. Instead of pay VPN, What should I do to have OpenVPN working correctly and to have the result I want?

Hi,

I am not a tech person but am able to installed Tomato firmware to my Asus RT-N16 via web instruction.

Now, a program I used do not support SSH socks setting, so that is why I used OpenVPN thinking it will route external request to router as if I was home, then show my router external ip instead.

I installed OpenVPN 2.14 stable version on Windows XP Pro and all same setting as instructed by http://www.howtogeek.com/60774/connect-to-your-home-network-from-anywhere-with-openvpn-and-tomato/ and successfully connected to my home router.

However, when I check my ip at many of the what is my ip website, it showed only those wireless ip from cafe or free hotspot I used.

Instead of pay VPN, What should I do to have OpenVPN working correctly and to have the result I want?

I also tried to undo it, but it still have the same error and I no longer can connect to the VPN anymore, Funny thing is I did not do anything else other than what you suggested.

Any idea how to fix this issue and make all work again?

Thanks.

I'm having exactly the same problem.

How did you change your setup to make it work?
