I am currently traveling and will need to check when I am back home around May 8. I did not check whether PPPoE would be possible with the DIR-825 running under DD-WRT.

Hence, my D-Link DIR-825 router is connected to this Ethernet (= WAN), using DHCP. I stay in a residential property managed by a hotel, and the internet is provided by the landlord (Ethernet). The question is, how did you use 2 routers ? as I know the router you wanted to set up Astrill in can not be used for PPPoE connection ? how did you do this ? Thank for sharing this, as I live in China too I have tried to do as you did I am neither a router specialist and don't pretend to be one. I have no affiliation or any interest whatsoever in Astrill.

If there are any questions that I may answer, I am happy to do so. I hope this may help some other DD-WRT users and may save time.
Astrill vpn router install#
In conclusion, I recommend using the build 21061 rather than the latest build 25697 if you want to install the Astrill Applet on a router with DD-WRT firmware. The router solution is obviously more attractive as it allows to connect all devices through the VPN.
Astrill vpn router software#
It actually works better than Astrill's software version, which can be installed on the computer. In China, the most suitable setting is to use the "RouterPro VPN TCP" (due to better stability than UDP) and to tunnel only international sites. Thereafter, I connected the VPN, and all is perfect.Īstrill offers the options to tunnel all sites, selected sites or only international sites through the VPN. After installation, I only had to make a hard reset, before the added Tab "My Page" under "Status" showed its contents. In the next step, I installed the Astrill Applet, and it went smoothly without any problem (I did it through the website method). So, I "downgraded" the firmware on my router, and the "new" version was: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/25/13) std - build 21061.Īfter the downgrade of the firmware, I tested the router again, and all worked well. After trying for two days, I gave up and contacted Astrill Technical Service and read through the DD-WRT forum.Īstrill recommended then another DD-WRT firmware. It seemed that the router did just not respond to the installation, neither through the Astill application, the Astrill website, a command under the Administration tab of the router or through a telnet session. There are several different methods to install the Applet, and I tried all of them, without success. However, when I tried to install the Astrill Applet, I was unable to do so. The router worked well, the internet access was ok, and the LAN/WLAN, both were ok. Thereafter, I upgraded the firmware to the lastest DD-WRT version for this router.Īll was fine, and the firmware version shown was DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/22/14) std - build 25697. Then, I flashed the router first with the factory-to-DD-WRT firmware. Hence, I purchased a 2nd hand D-Link DIR-825 revision B1.īefore changing anything, I checked that the router worked well with the original firmware from D-Link. However, this router is not suitable for DD-WRT. I have already another router for my local network and WLAN (TP-Link Archer C7, 1750). Therefore, I decided to purchase a suitable router, to flash it with DD-WRT and to install the Astrill Applet. I noticed that several users in the forum installed the Astrill Applet on their routers. However, Astrill offers a special VPN protocol (still based on OpenVPN, but with further encryption) that is more difficult to detect, and which still works in China. However, the so-called "Great Firewall" got more and more sophisticated and is now able to detect most of the VPNs, which are then subsequently also blocked. For instance Google and whatever is linked to it is not accessible anymore without VPN. I live in China, and it is well known, the government here increasingly blocks foreign websites etc. Posted: Tue 17:35 Post subject: DD-WRT router with Astrill VPN Applet - some information
