How to Configure ExtremeVPN OpenVPN on D-Link Router
This guide will teach you how to set up your D-link router through the OpenVPN protocol.
As you may already know, the D-Link router doesn’t support OpenVPN protocol; hence to configure it, you must flash your D-link router firmware to DD-WRT. We have segmented this article into three sections to make it easier for you to understand the process.
Requirements
- Working Internet connection
- A VPN-supported router device
- A premium ExtremeVPN account (click here to buy one if you’re a new user)
You can check your VPN credentials by visiting the VPN member panel.
- Use your ExtremeVPN username and password to log in to the Member area.
- You can find your VPN credentials in the subscriptions tab. Scroll down to check them.
- Note and remember your ExtremeVPN username. To see your password, press the Eye icon to display the password.
- You can now use these VPN credentials for manually configuring the D-Link Router.
Visit this link here to install the DD-WRT firmware files for your D-Link Router.
- Sign in to your D-Link router and press Tools.
- Select Firmware from the top left of the screen.
- Tap Browse and choose the downloaded DD-WRT firmware file.
- Hurray! Firmware is now updated to DD-WRT.
Before moving forward, download the OpenVPN files through this link. After downloading, extract the files.
