Setup up 2820 to connect to a 3rd party company's VPN servic was created by dogmatix
First question, is this even possible?
I live in the UK most of the year but am in New Zealand for a few months and want to keep up with the usual programs via BBC iPlayer (I have a TV license).
Setting up the VPN via the PC is fine however what I want to do is use my Wii to watch the iPlayer on the TV instead. I have not found any VPN options for the Wii and so was wondering if you can use for example the LAN to LAN to connect to a 3rd party VPN service egwww.vpngates.com using my 2820.
If it is possible do I use the LAN to LAN and if so where are the routing options for traffic to and from an IP/subnet down the VPN?

I do not know about the vpngates service, but it appears that ALLof your internet traffic may be sent via the VPN tunnel. Do you want to do this?

If so, the 2820 does support L2TP/IPSEC.
Have a look at:

Although it is not 2820 specific it should give you some idea.
Q. You have a ADSL connection in the UK? Is the 28280 connected to this?
What router are you planning on using in NZ?

Thank you for the pointer, I had tried setting up the Lan to Lan using PPTP setting and routing all trafic option and although the VPN appeared active in the Connection Management no traffic seemed to route through it and my IP still appeared as NZ.
I am already in NZ with my 2820 (which is what I am trying to configure), I do however have another 2820 at home the in the UK.
I will continue down the line of the L2TP/IPSEC route and see if I have more joy, thank you.

why not create a ipsec vpn between the two 2820 units? You can route all traffic from the NZ 2820 to the UK 2820. There is a guide on the draytek.com website on how to set this up.

Finally got it going using PPTP, I had failed to turn on NAT instead of routing in 4. TCP/IP Network Settings.
Thank you for the suggestion of the connecting my two routers, unfortunately I dont think that my upsteam bandwidth was capable at home (I also didnt read your post before I had paid for the VPN!)

Well new issue has occurred, although the VPN connects and routes traffic down the link it does however have massively throttled downstream bandwidth in comparison to using the PC VPN, but unaffected upstream.
Averages so far
Vigor VPN
Downstream: 0.2 Mbps
Upstream: 0.3 Mbps
PC VPN
Downstream: 2.4 Mbps
Upstream: 0.3 Mbps
_________
(Changed IP settings to 0.0.0.0 in TCP/IP Network Settings & 12 hours later for next set of tests)
Vigor VPN 2
Downstream: 0.9 Mbps
Upstream: 0.3 Mbps
PC VPN 2
Downstream: 2.2 Mbps
Upstream: 0.3 Mbps
