Yes. Tomato with openvpn. I followed a tutorial to set it up initially and have only messed with is once since then, to change the IP address of the VPN Server. The router gets set up as a client and auto connects to the VPN server on each reboot. Any clients behind that router go out through

So I've discovered that using a second router with my FIOS box is going to be fairly complicated. Here's a list that's been put together of all the various ways to do it and the pros/cons of each: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 I only have a coax drop from the ONT and it's not really an

Are you running tomato with OpenVPN? What tomato distribution/mods/plugins/whatever do you use? I've only ever used the stock tomato without VPN and would love to give it a shot. Scott On Sep 15, 2013, at 9:30 AM, Robert Martin Jr. wrote: Sorry didn't give all the info. One router is bridged

Yes, no problem at all with that setup. I have 3 wireless routers at my house. The second and third use the first as the gateway. My network's using 3 different subnets so I can prioritize traffic easily. Gaming, work, and home/VOIP networks. lopaka From:

Would love to run tomato, but it's not an option for me on the FIOS router. It should still work without it, right? - Brian On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 9:30 AM, Robert Martin Jr. lopaka_...@yahoo.comwrote: Sorry didn't give all the info. One router is bridged to primary and the other

I have a similar setup to what you're talking about. I think that having the FIOS box do the DHCP and routing but not WIFI is the easier way to go. In effect you would have access point(s) doing the WIFI. If you got the right models you could run DDWRT or TOMATO for superior performance and
