This guide will explain how to configure your Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection on your system using a wireless DD-WRT router. What is Internet Protocol Television (IPTV)?

Prior to establishing the connection, it is imperative to confirm the presence of a functional internet connection, a router compatible with PPTP, and an active VPN subscription. A VPN connection is nonfunctional on an ISP modem. A secondary router must be connected to your modem to enable functionality in your VPN connection.

Instructions for configuring a VPN on a DD-WRT router

Step 1: Establish an Ethernet or wireless connection from your router to your computing device. Consult section 1a for Ethernet configuration and section 1b for wireless setup.
