This tutorial explains how to connect your DD-WRT firmware router to LimeVPN using the L2TP protocol.

Following changes have to be made in the web configuration panel of your router. You can access it by visiting the local IP of your router from your web browser. 

Please note, that L2TP alone does not encrypt your traffic, it only reroutes you through one of our servers. Please use it at your own risk. This does not apply to L2TP/IPsec.

1. Go to Setup -> Basic Setup;

3. Into the Gateway (L2TP Server) field enter a LimeVPN server address. You can find our server addresses here
