Configure your router to use WonderProxy’s VPN

TP-Link Router VPN Configuration

For this example we are using the TP-Link AX5400 model router. Please consult TP-Link's website to determine which models supports the "VPN Client" feature. Each TP-Link’s router setup process can vary subtly depending on its model and firmware version.

TP-Link Routers can connect to a single VPN at a time, and can assign an arbitrary number of clients to that VPN. Clients not assigned to the VPN use the network connection normally.

Prerequisites

  • Your WonderProxy username and password
  • IKEv1 pre-shared secret: (you must be logged in as a proxy user to view the shared secret)

  8. Enter the proxy server using format <location>.wonderproxy.com
  9. Enter your username, and WonderProxy Password

    Many TP-Link routers are enforcing a 64 character maximum password length, so your proxy token can not be used
  10. Enter the IPSec Pre-Shared Key: (you must be logged in as a proxy user to view the shared secret)
  11. Click Save
