    To everyone who doesn't understand the point of this, it's a self hosted OpenVPN server so you can use a public network (think coffee shop or airport) anywhere in the world and open an encrypted VPN connection to your home network (so from a technical perspective it's like your computer is still in the safety of your home). This is much safer than using a sketchy public network like at a airport and lets you safely connect to your home computers for file sharing or RDP.
    To all the people trying to route their entire home internet traffic through VPN service like NordVPN, I don't know why you'd want your entire network behind a security VPN that often destroys the internet bandwidth that you're paying for. I suggest you use software on the client you're using to connect to your VPN service. Pre-configured software usually comes with the VPN service.

      Great explanation - had no idea this existed.
      By the software what do mean? Wouldn't it be smarter to let the router do all the work creating the VPN as opposed to the computer

      "To everyone who doesn't understand the point of this" I understand what is a VPN. The problem of this video is that it assumes the client connects from within the same network of the router, which makes no sense...
      This whole VPN setup is useful if I can connect to my home network FROM THE INTERNET. For doing that I need the public IP of the router or setting up DDNS. Nothing is mentioned in this video

      Yo man, great video. Do you happen to know if TPlink routers support Proxy services natively also? As in routing all your traffic through the VPN whereby you also use its IP as your external endpoint. I've found that on the OpenVPN app you need to assign a separate proxy server, but I'm not sure if TPlink routers support this.

      Please don't! Why do you even need a commercial VPN which is really a proxy server in the same datacenter as all the other rented servers! They just log all the data by law, or get the hosting company to, manipulate and sell your data and then store it in countries that have no data protection laws. You are taking a huge risk using a commercial VPN and lowering your privacy, they are a massive security risk. Most do not even hide your IP, some re-purpose home users systems to route traffic through to service blocked by VPN IPs.
      If you want to do something naughty, use Tor. a VPN will not save you as it is possible to still see who you are, the IP number is one of a hundred different ways of identifying users.

      2 years late to this reply, but if the vpn service option isn't available on the management console then I'm afraid you cannot do it. However, and you'd need to do your research, but some of the firmware in tp-link models may allow you to flash custom (safe) firmware to use a who different type of UI/software to interact with your home router. At that point, and assuming you did the research ha, you could use the vpn service option on that special firmware you installed. Be extremely careful doing this, as you can brick yourself out of your router and render it useless if you flash the wrong firmware on the wrong model.
      The easiest thing to do in your case though is...............
      Buy a tp-link router that can utilize the vpn service

      So... the video doesn't explain that it's set up for internal traffic only, and working on its own internal subnet. Yes you are correct, it's hosted on its own server. The router is the server host using openvpn. You can try setting the address to your own subnet and subnet mask, then host the vpn and see if that will work internally just to do it.
      The video only shows HOW to set up a vpn at the easiest level and that's it. No other context.
      It would be useful for ftp and ssh.
      Try setting your host address to your internal subnet and make sure the address isn't in use already, then set the subnet mask and see if you can ping devices at that point. Worth a try. I'm gonna go home and try this myself just to do it. The ole' Minecraft server test run is the best IMO when trying to configure routes, connections, and vpns.

      You might be confused as to what this is used for. A commercial VPN that logs your data, manipulates and sells your data and claims to hide your real IP like Nord and others is for hiding your real IP.
      The VPN server on your router is to allow you to go anywhere, use 4G/5G and public/corporate WiFi to connect back home securely on a phone or laptop and use your own home IP and Internet connection or go on your own local network. It is nothing to do with commercial VPNs.
      I used to run a raspberry Pi with PiHole and PiVPN to do the same thing. I connected via 4G/5G and work WiFi to home encrypted and used my own home internet to avoid snooping! Now I have no need for all that, I use a VPN server in a router, use MullvadDNS settings and use AdGuardHome for site/advert/tracker blocking on a raspberryPi.

      This configuration specifically isn't designed to provide privacy, it's designed to connect you from the outside in. While your commercial vpns are meant for privacy, this is more for accessing while not being directly on your internal network. However, this video is set up for an internal network. You'd have to configure it on the UI to allow for external connection which you can see in the fields if you watch the video again.

    I followed your OpenVPN configuration procedure but does not seem to work. The problem seems to be
    1. In some country ISP does not allow VPN under their Access point.
    2. currently S. Korea where S. Korean NAZI regime control and monitors IX(Internet Exchange)under gigantic NAZI government control. This does not allow setup of VPN server under their IX.
    3. Be sure to mention this to your use manual or somewhere in the instruction. You can also specifically mention the list of countries which does not allow this.

    this won't work, make sure to edit your open vpn file and set your global ip address, this ^ would work only in your local network which defeats the purpose of having vpn in the 1st place.

    How can I also add Google Authenticator as an extra safety step? I will use my cellphone to receive the code and verify it is me trying to connect.
