Hi,
I'm trying to setup a PPTP VPN server on one of my routers at home. I tried making it work on my second router (Linksys E1200v2) which runs on DD-WRT, but even after many hours of Googling, I couldn't get it to work. I also tried making it work on an older router (Cisco WRT120N), but had no luck either. -- the main objective is to make the Roku 3 streaming machines run on a VPN network. Ideally, I'd like it to work on the third router, essentially making the Roku users (not very "computer literate"( the ability to switch between Router 2 (Netflix Canada) and Router 3 (Netflix U.S.) -- if this couldn't work, then Router 2 would be better than nothing.
I tried following tutorials everywhere; making the router run in DMZ, shutting down the hardware firewall, etc., to no avail. I tried contacting PureVPN support, but they didn't really seem to know what's up, besides unchecking/checking things and then praying that it would work.
Here's a graphic of my network (the USB ethernet dongle can easily change device - I use for security reasons, i.e. no wireless admin access): https://i.imgur.com/xaiO1iY.png
I do know it's a lot of cable salad.
