This is considered a breach of privacy because whoever owns the DNS server can do things you may not like, including but not limited to, recording what websites you visit or redirecting your requests to a server other than the one it was intended for.' 'A DNS leak is when those requests to transform an address/URL into an IP address somehow ends up going through someone else's DNS server instead of our VPN. I kept trying to use ipVanish's DNS Servers at: 198.18.0.1 & 198.18.0.2.Īccording to their own Help Page, (which they have since updated with much better info): It took me quite a while to figure out my initial setup wasn't connecting due to a DNS issue.
I'm waiting for a new router WRT1900ACS.Ĭan anyone give some feedback about the new IPVanish setup instructions vs this one shared by spuriousoffspring? I have not yet tested which setup is better. Meanwhile IPVanish also updated their setup instructions last April 19. Stangdriverdoug, can you please share the diferences your setup has? thank you for the post spuriousoffspring. I just signed up with IPvanish and my set up is very similar to yours.

HTTPS WWW IPVANISH COM DOWNLOAD
With the VPN enabled I get max download speed of 34 MbpsįIRMWARE: OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r8217-2cc821e / LuCI Master (git-18.276.41146-280dd33) With the VPN disabled I get max download speed of 170 Mbps I can't speak to any other mobile devices, but I can Enable & Disable my VPN without problems via my iPad (I don't even have to get off the couch!) If you want to disable your VPN for any reason (Netflix, etc.), just go to Services - VPN and disable OpenVPN Client then click Apply Settings. Your ip should have changed as well as city, state (the city, state of your server). Now go to one of the ip address websites. You should see a 'CONNECTED SUCCESS' as well as data transmission values. Check the OpenVPN connection:įirst go to Status - OpenVPN. You may find that you can get better speed with your router by changing Ports and/or Tunnel Protocol.

*Note* After countless adjustments and more trial and error - these are the settings that got ME the fastest and most reliable connection. Copy & Paste ipVanish CA Cert text in CA Cert Field. Use settings below in screenshot (change the server to any server you wish). Next go to Services - VPN and enable OpenVPN Client (start openvpn client). Next go to Services - Services and enable System Log (syslogd). Enter the server for your location and set time zone. Under Setup - Basic Setup change Static DNS 1 & Static DNS 2 to OpenDNS ipV4 Servers. Now go to the DD-WRT GUI (Control Panel). It should show your current ip address, city and state. etc.įirst step is to use one of the above sites (or another) to make a note of your ip address. You don't need to do this - ipVanish currently does not support ipV6. This way if I ever need to enable it I can do so with one click. OpenDNS ipV6 Server Address (optional) I configured ipV6, checked it and then disabled it. *Note* I recommend saving a copy of the CA Cert File on your computer just in case. With this setup I can change ipVanish Servers or 'turn off' my OpenVpn with one simple click in the DD-WRT GUI. I was finally able to get it setup after some trial and error and more than a little help from this forum. Like A LOT of other people - I found the ipVanish OpenVPN Router instructions woefully out of date, however, they recently have updated them. Posted: Thu 0:06 Post subject: ipVanish OpenVPN Setup
