How to create a VPN server with TP Link Omada routers ER605 ER7206, IPsec - L2TP windows clients

We share with you, here the procedure step by step to create a VPN server by using your Omada routers, and particularly in this video, the fastest way to create it, by using the graphical user interface of the router or as we prefer to call it, a standalone configuration. You do not need anything else besides the router for these purposes.

If you’re just starting your path through VPNs here is an excellent link that might be of help to start understanding it’s bassics:

You made this so freaking simple !! I had been struggling for months to do this. Thank you so much

[divyanshkapale]

It doesn’t quite go into the sa level as detail as Lypur’s videos, but it gives you a great overview of the “basics” - so that you can start

[JayGeiger]

Finally good instructions that actually work!

Tried with other vids, no success. Tried this one, works on first attempt. Thanks! April 24, ER605 latest firmware, Apple latest IOS.

A very good video that shows how easy is to set up a client-to-site connection using Omada. However, there is one thing that I would appreciate if anyone could explain how to implement a "kill switch" or network lock when your client's VPN connection drops. This is very important, because if you are accessing the internet via your remote site and the connection drops, your real IP will be revealed.

Please hide your public IP number in the video - 4:07. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Hello, The video is very informative, I did it successfully, Thank you. Can you please put a video on port forwarding & load balancing together on an ER-605 router?

[MrCredo]

This seems to work great - the only thing I can't wrap my head around is how you were able to create the VPN-IP-Pool in the same IP-Segment as your LAN. I'm getting an error message when I try this.

[adbaro]

Can you please make a video explaining how to use this as a OpenVPN client to connect to one of those widely available VPN services, thanks

hey! great video, i just bought this device, i have a question tho, im new to this stuff, i mainly only need this as a vpn service so that when i am travveling i can access the internet through my home country, does this work in that way? or is this only for sharing local (LAN) devices to a remote location?

[AnilPekala]

Can we access internet over that VPN? If yes, What is the configuation for that?

I have configured as shown above but I am unable to acess the internet over that VPN.

[bystrzakk]

Great video! But in a few simple words..what does it give us? as I understand every time that I would like to connect my device to this network I have to do it via VPN?

[mahmoudhabib]

Thanks for the Instruction my question is there any configuration on the router to allow VPN connection?

[smartchines]

HI Thank very mush for your help, I have the er605 tp link I created a VPN L2TP but I have question, what if I want to get Internet access via VPN -L2TP is posible?

[mikhl]

Great, straight forward videkIs having an Omada Controller preferable? What advantage does the Omada Controller give?

[jmijnen]

Nice video. Question I have it working. But I want all my internet from the cliënt trough the vpn. This not the case. Do I need to change a setting?

[ArunG]

How to configure with wireguard. I have er605 with wireguard option.

[wizajit]

I have a small query. Once we connect to the home VPN server we setup; does the internet usage(browsing etc) gets routed though the tunnel we created. In above case; the internet remains secure routing through your home router; rather than the mobile 4G LTE network? Am I right in my understanding? Thanks for your time :)

Is it possible to do this with an ipv6 address as well? My ISP only gives out "shared" ipv4 addresses that can't be used for any at-home hosting
