Setting up AirVPN on DD-WRT in Client Bridge Mode

[tw0fer 0]

Hi there,

 

I've currently got DD-WRT running on my Netgear WNDR3700v4 in client bridge mode. My primary router handles all of the wifi devices, this DD-WRT Client Bridge connection provides a hard ethernet line for my NAS. What I am attempting to do is enable the VPN on the DD-WRT router so all the downloading from the NAS goes through the VPN.

 

I've followed the steps as listed at www.airvpn.org/ddwrt and I am still having issues.

 

In the DD-WRT OpenVPN status page, it reads that I have successfully connected. I then go to the airvpn website and it reads...

 

"This account is actually logged to Pollux server (198.203.28.42, UDP), located in United States - Jacksonville, Florida, since 22s ago.

You are visible from the Internet with IP 198.203.28.43 (Server Exit-IP)."

Cool! Sounds great right? No... i then take a look at the bottom of the airvpn page and there is still a red icon saying I'm not connected and my ISP IP address is still visible. (Please see attached.)

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe i need to do some port forwarding on my primary router.. The fact that AirVPN and DD-WRT are talking make it seem like I'm really close, but I'm still missing something.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

dtdickman, While directly connected to your DD-WRT router, Have you tried going to a website that will display your IP address such as http://whatismyipaddress.com or http://ip-lookup.net? When you visit these web sites does it display your ISP's IP address or does it display the AirVPN's IP address that you are connected to?

Yes, and those site still show my ISP ip. The router that the dd-wrt is bridging to is what we use for all of our wifi... Unfortunately this primary router is behind our crappy Comcast router.. I have gone into the Comcast settinsg and DMZd the primary router.. So I don't think that should be causing port issues.
