Hi there,
I want to use the Brume (NO WLAN !) in my existing network only as VPN-client. My Home-Router has 192.168.1.1 and I don’t want to configurate a subnet.
So, the Brume should use the same net (for example with ip 192.168.1.2) without NAT and DHCP.
My questions:
How can I disable Router and DHCP (“Access Point” doesn’t work with VPN) ?
How I must connect the Brume to my Home-Router (LAN to LAN doesn’t work) ?
I would like to build a network with two routers, but without a subnet. My understanding is that two routers do not get along on the same network.
I would still like to use VPN/WireGuard for all devices on the LAN of course.
My network knowledge is unfortunately not enough to understand how to configure the Brume to run on my existing network.
Here’s what I tried:
In Luci, I disabled DHCP for LAN and set the IP for my home network (192.168.1.1) to 192.168.1.222.
After saving, the web interface was unreachable as expected. After switching to the “home network” the Brume is no longer accessible. Only a reset helped. The Brume set itself back to the default IP 192.168.8.1.
Where is my understanding problem ?
I look forward to further help.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much for your help.
I think you have understood my question correctly.
By the sentence:
I meant that I set my home router to 192.168.1.1 and the Brume to 192.168.1.222.
But anyway, I have now followed your instructions.
But I didn’t have to click “Apply & Save” under LUCI but “Apply Unchecked”. Otherwise the Brume hangs up.
Now everything is set up as you described (LAN-IP, DHCP, Gateway, LAN-LAN connection).
But now I see in the Admin Panel of the Brume that there is no Internet (“No cable detected in WAN. Please plug in an Internet cable”). VPN does not work either.
I have checked all settings again, but can’t find the error.
Do you have another idea ?
Thanks.
Hi Fastpatch. Thanks for your participation.
The Brume as main router needs an additional modem I think.
If my another solution does not work, then I will think about it again. But an additional problem with your solution would be my internet telephony.
Now it’s done !
What I did in addition:
-Disable WAN in LUCI
-Click on the link “Use as LAN” in the Admin Panel under Internet/Cable (say “yes”).
-Set all clients gateway to 192.168.1.2 (Brume)
-Against DNS leak: Enter the DNS of the VPN provider in all clients
