PPTP is straightforward, not the best in term of security. In iOS devices, this is just a VPN connection to be installed. You need to have port 1723 (I think) opened for PPTP and set username/password accordingly on your server. In iPeng, I had to manually set the address of LMS I also have an OpenVPN installed (1194 I think) , with a self-signed certificated that I also installed on my iPhone - It gave the possibility to setup the tunnel on demand. It was a much more complicated setup I had to do and I have notes somewhere if you are interested. Had to create certificates and install them with an Apple tool named "iphone config utility" - it was at the time of iOS 6 ... so might be outdated and much simplier options might exist today. I also had issues with a problem named triangle routing because my VPN server was not my default gateway, which I understood is not the case for you. Maybe somebody with a fresher experience will tell you, or I can dig out for my notes PS: I do not know this router nor the firmware in it. If it is VPN servers, this is easy, otherwise, it might just be passthroughs in which case you need to have a real server somewhere LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.
