Vigor 2130 - VPN newbie was created by ccl2
I want to add my old Vigor 2130 to my existing LAN to provide VPN connectivity to 2 x WiFi devices. Can anyone help with my questions please?
1/ Does the 2130 support NordVPN? I can see loads of "how to's", but they all refer to later routers and recent firmware. If so, is there an idiot's guide to configuration (and I really do mean an idiot's guide!)?
2/ I just give the Vigor a static IP from the existing subnet and plug the WAN connection in on Ethernet - simple as that?
3/ I set up pass through for the existing DHCP servers and the 2 x devices will pick up IPv4 addresses?
All and any help appreciated, thanks!

No. NordVPN (whoever they are:? ) don't support any of the 2130's VPN protocols ![:( :(](/media/kunena/emoticons/18.png)
Apparently, they dropped support for PPTP and L2TP/IPsec in December 2018
https://nordvpn.com/blog/l2tp-pptp-protocol-update/
I understand why they dropped PPTP, but not L2TP/IPsec (unless your VPN traffic is regularly intercepted by the Chinese government![:roll: :roll:](/media/kunena/emoticons/20.png)
)
Call me a cynical old fool:lol: , but personally, I'd be much more worried about what happens to my data after it reaches NordVPN ![:!: :!:](/media/kunena/emoticons/6.png)
