Can I connect via VPN without VPN provider?

Hi, want to connect with my Beryl (AX3000) to my home router which also supports VPN connections. So I don't want to use one of the VPN providers.
Is there a possibility to configure this?

Yes but it requires your server router to have a public IP and OpenVPN or WireGuard support.

The router is registered at DynDNS - so this should be not the problem (using this also with smart-phone vpn). Configured via IPSec - can I configure this also to my GL-MT3000?

My main question was, establish the connection directly and NOT using WireGuard or other VPN providers :wink:

Whatever you do you need a vpn protocol like openvpn or wireguard.

IPSec isn't direct, it is VPN as well.

IPSec isn't supported, sorry.

Wireguard and OpenVPN are not VPN providers - they're protocols.

My ASUS router supports both, as does my Odroid C2 (which I use on my network as a Pi-Hole), and I run Wireguard on both of them, to provide me with my home IP address no matter where I am - and of course the ad-blocking provided by the Pi-Hole.

Thank you - now I understand this! I still was wondering, because there was even a vpn service provider in the list when I want to configure a private connection. Could be a little better be organized in the configuration screen ... but when I add a new group (why group and not item?) I was able to upload a config file and could connect to internal home router.

How I do it, is I have a group for my Asus router, and a group for my Odroid, each with different client configs - it makes sense when you set up a few different ones.

Could only create a group - and then I could import config files ... works (is this not ok so?)

Yup, seems to be totally fine.

The groups are more for organzing things.
