Noob VPN Questions gl-mt300n-v2

Hi,

I am struggling to get my head around the VPN setup on my gl-mt300n-v2 (firmware 3.2 from memory).

My set up is very similar to the image in this post:

[GL-MT300N-V2] Setup question Technical Support for Routers

Hey there! I’m planing to use the GL-MT300N-V2 for my setup as drawn below. [Unbenannt] Can someone confirm this setup will work propper? Thanks for help!

I want to use the gl-mt300n-v2 as a VPN box between my main router and iptv

I have read this tutorial and it looks like I need to have open vpn server and client running:

docs.gl-inet.com

OpenVPN Client - GL.iNet Router Docs 3

Documentation for GL.iNet Router Productions

I have NordVPN and upload the NordVPN ovpn client file but I get an error message when trying to start the client about a conflicting VPN service that is already running and I need to stop it. I have factory reset twice and get the same error message. What am I doing wrong?

I thought I had it working last night without having the vpnserver part running but when the TV was on the VPN throughput was not changing.

I have the router in standard router mode, is there anything else I need to watch out for?

Thanks in advance

All sorted now, I did another factory reset and followed the tutorial on NordVPN’s website:

support.nordvpn.com

GL.iNet setup with NordVPN | NordVPN support

This tutorial explains how to connect your GL.iNet router to NordVPN using the OpenVPN protocol. Click here to learn more.

IPTV is running very smoothly, this will hopefully be more stable than my Pi VPN gateway I was using previously.

hey ya. no luck from my side. Would it be possible to let me know

which firmware are you using for gl-mt300n-v2?
do you connect the gl-mt300n-v2 to your internet connectivity using wireless? wire?
do you use UDP for the nordvpn ovpn files?

I connect to my main router using the ethernet cable and then connected to the gl-mt300 using wifi to configure.

I used UDP Nord config files.

Have you followed the tutorial on the Nord website?

Try factory reset first and then try to setup
