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:
