Router FAQs
Router FAQs
What is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) Address is a numerical assignment for each device (cell phone, iPad, laptop computer, printer etc) inside a network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. Internet Protocol is responsible for routing information packets across network boundaries. It is the main protocol establishing the Internet.
An IP address serves two predominant functions. First is to host or network interface identification. Second, it provides location addressing. To put it bluntly, an IP address tells wherever you are connecting, to whom you are visiting, and where you are located.
What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol that uses a set of standards for how computers exchange data on the Internet and on many private networks.
The basic job of DNS is to convert a user-friendly domain name into an IP address that computers use to identify one another. Think of DNS like your cellphone contact list; you tap the name and the phone contacts to a phone number.
It is easier to remember flashrouters.com, rather than its IP address. Imagine if you had to remember all of the IP addresses of your favorite websites!
What is DNSMasq?
DNSMasq is a local DNS server that speeds up host-name searches from your computer/Internet connection after pressing enter.
Basically, DNSMasq gives the router some advanced enterprise functionality – caching DNS records locally so you have a faster browsing experience. Your computer only has to go to the router instead of repeatedly scouring the web for a commonly visited site.
What is Throughput and How Do I Improve it?
Throughput is the average rate of successful delivery of messages through a network. Simply put, throughput measures the speed of message delivery inside a network. If you think about it in relationship to networks and Internet connections, throughput defines the user experience. The key to a pleasing user experience is uninterrupted service and smooth data transfer.
In order to improve throughput, you should get a router with more memory. If you notice that your network is running slowly due to congestion, you could probably benefit by upgrading your router to one with more memory. FlashMemory and RAM on a router add more room to prevent network congestion and improve throughput.
Most of FlashRouters‘ high-end units come with at least 8 MB of Flash memory and 64 MB of RAM which should be more than capable for providing for the average home users’ or small business will need in the future.
What is PPPoE?
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, a network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with DSL services where individual users connect to a DSL modem over Ethernet.
With PPPoE, users virtually “dial” from one machine to another over an Ethernet network, establish a point-to-point connection and then data packets are securely transported through the connection.
PPPoE offers an Internet service provider (ISP) an easier way to track exactly how much bandwidth you are using in case they want to charge for it in the future.
What is the Difference Between VPN Encryption and Wireless Network Security?
VPN Encryption: If you are connected to the VPN on your home network, then any data that flows over the Internet is entirely encrypted whether you are connected to the Internet either wired or wirelessly. This means that if your Local ISP was trying to see what you are browsing or downloading, they would not be able to see your data.
Wireless Network Security: If you leave your wireless network open or insecure, it does not matter whether Internet traffic is encrypted, because someone can directly see what you are doing on your network, or even worse, can go in and put a wireless password on your network, locking you out. They may also be able to access folders and files on your computer without your control.
Best thing to do is protect your wireless network with a WPA secured password along with your VPN connection.
Are FlashRouters Affected By the Shellshock Bug?
No.
According to our in-house testing and multiple DD-WRT community reports, we have found that the Shellshock vulnerability will not work on with DD-WRT or TomatoUSB installed router. The vulnerability is based on a shell called BASH (Bourne Again Shell) but DD-WRT & Tomato firmware use BusyBox which is confirmed to not have this issue.
Please be advised that if you are using Optware on your DD-WRT router there is a chance that implementation is BASH based. Only used trusted optware on your router.
VPN FAQs
VPN FAQs
General VPN FAQ Answers
What is a VPN?
VPN is an acronym for ‘Virtual Private Network’, historically used by private organizations to seamlessly link geographically diverse locations via the Internet. A VPN ‘tunnels’ traffic between two devices by transmitting it over a secure network. There are also clearly identifiable benefits to individual Internet users accessing a VPN.
- A VPN provides you with top-level security and privacy for all your Internet downloading, streaming and browsing. As long as you are signed into your VPN account, all data you transmit over the Internet is encrypted.
- A VPN encrypts your device by hiding the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and replacing it with the IP address of your choosing from the list of server locations belonging to your VPN provider. This masks your identity when visiting sites that geo-restricted content, and helps you avoid devious local Internet marketing and advertising schemes that track you through your IP address.
Will a FlashRouter with a built-in VPN client speed up my connection?
FlashRouters are relatively new models that may enhance data transfers across your home network or extend the range of your Wireless signal. However, the speed at which you download or stream content can not exceed the speed of the connection you pay for through your ISP. Purchasing a FlashRouter or signing up for VPN service WILL NOT transform your regular connection into a high-speed broadband connection.
At the same time, if you do have a broadband connection, a FlashRouter with a VPN connection may slow down your transfer speeds due to the processor encrypting all of your data. In certain cases a FlashRouter with a VPN can also prevent throttling by an ISP of specific service like Netflix or Amazon Video.
Which VPN provider should I use?
Our routers have been tested to perform with many of the most popular VPN providers such as ExpressVPN, NordVPN, IPVanish, PrivateInternetAccess & CyberGhost among 50+ VPN providers so that subscribers can get the maximum benefit from their VPN service. If you prefer another provider, that is not an issue at all. You can still use a DD-WRT VPN FlashRouter with any VPN provider that offers DD-WRT router integration support. Contact our team for further information about using our routers with your VPN service of choice or if you need a VPN provider recommendation based on your location.
Should my FlashRouter replace my old router?
A FlashRouter will work as a standalone router by connecting your modem to its Wide Area Network (WAN) port, or using it in a Dual Router Network by connecting it to your existing router through a Local Area Network (LAN)/Ethernet port. Either way a FlashRouter can be configured to tunnel all traffic through the VPN server of your choosing.
If you would like to set up your Home Network so that some devices are being tunneled through a VPN server, and others are connecting to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) within your home country, then using your FlashRouter as an auxiliary device is recommended.
VPN Security FAQ Answers
Can I change my IP address to one in another country?
YES! The countries that you can change your IP address to depend on the offerings of your specific VPN providers. Prices and server locations vary across all VPN providers.
If you choose to purchase a FlashRouter then you will not have to install any VPN client software on your computer to change your IP address; the VPN will already be configured within the router. Therefore, any device you plug into this FlashRouter is automatically assigned the IP address of your selected VPN server.
When is my connection secure?
As long as the VPN account preset into your FlashRouter is active, any device that is connected to the Internet through this router has its network traffic encrypted, and IP address masked. With a FlashRouter you never have to physically login to your VPN account, as the settings have been stored in the router’s DD-WRT firmware.
Don’t worry though! If you are not at home, and using Wi-Fi in a public location, you can still use your VPN account on a laptop or mobile device through various other methods.
How can I be sure my connection is safe and encrypted?
In order to make sure that the connection on your FlashRouter is being rerouted appropriately through your VPN service, visit What is my IP address and make sure the location listed is the one you have chosen in your VPN settings, NOT your actual location.
If you wish, there is an Internet Kill Switch available as well for your router which will block the internet whenever you disconnect from VPN.
What VPN connection standards are supported on a FlashRouter?
Currently we support the OpenVPN protocol for VPN client connections. PPTP VPN has been deemed as insecure by the privacy community and so we no longer offer support for PPTP VPN connections.
Technical VPN FAQ Answers
What operating systems do you support?
A FlashRouter can be used with any operating system, be it Windows, Mac OS or Linux. A FlashRouter can also be used as a wireless access point for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
Our routers also work in conjunction with any other brand of router of ADSL or DSL modem/router combo from ISPs across the world.
Can I set up a VPN on a PS4, Xbox One, Kindle Fire, Roku, AppleTV or other devices without native VPN support?
THAT’S WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR!
If you purchase one of our FlashRouters loaded with DD-WRT firmware, you can run the client VPN connection from your router. Once you do this every device connected to the router will tunnel through the VPN.
Now you can stream content like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Pandora Hulu, or Amazon Instant to your TV through any of these devices, instead of being constrained to streaming content on your computer!
If you need a recommendation for a VPN service with a specific streaming platform do not hesitate to contact our support team.
Which DD-WRT wireless extender setup should I be using?
FlashRouters supports four unique DD-WRT wireless extender setups – options similar to an open source Mesh network. Each different wireless extender configuration serves a different purpose. Read below to see which guide fits your configuration requirements!
Wireless Repeater
Why should I choose Wireless Repeater Setup?
- If you have a MiFi wireless only internet connection or other type of WiFi internet where there is no access to any ethernet port for a wired internet connection, then you can setup a wireless repeater network to both extend WiFi and add wired connection capabilities.
- If you have a large home or office area that requires additional WiFi coverage can use a wireless repeater setup to extend the existing network.
- If you want to create a separate VPN WiFi network in your home without placing the FlashRouter in the same room as your primary router you can use wireless repeater to establish a WiFi internet connection and then connect to VPN on your WiFi repeater network.
- If you want a wireless Dual Router setup option where you can have local ISP IP address through your main router WiFi network and your VPN IP address through your FlashRouter Wireless Repeater WiFi network, both available for you to connect at all times. Each network is on a unique subnet.
View the FlashRouter Wireless Repeater Setup Guide.
Wireless Repeater Bridge
Use Cases

Access FlashRouter DD-WRT firmware settings
You must be connected to the FlashRouter network via ethernet or WiFi connection on your device in order to be able to access the FlashRouter’s firmware settings.
Why do I need to access my FlashRouter's settings?
It is important to understand how to access your router if you want to:
- Change WiFi or admin passwords
- Switch VPN server locations
- Attempt custom setups
- Troubleshoot your network
Connect your device to the FlashRouter network
We recommend using a computer, tablet, or phone to access your FlashRouter firmware settings. You can connect your device to the FlashRouter via Ethernet Cable or Wireless connection.
Please note, you will NOT be able access the firmware settings unless you connect your device to the FlashRouter Network.
via Ethernet
Connect an Ethernet cable to your device’s Ethernet port.
Connect the other end of that Ethernet cable to a FlashRouter LAN/numbered port.
Be sure NOT to connect your device to the WAN/internet port of the FlashRouter. Please use the LAN/numbered ports to connect your devices.
via Wireless
Navigate to the available wireless networks in your device network settings and join any of the available FlashRouter networks – FlashRouter24, FlashRouter50, or FlashRouter80 (if you have a tri-band router).
Access the FlashRouter settings
We recommend using a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox incognito/private browsing window to access the FlashRouter firmware settings. You can access the main DD-WRT firmware GUI or you can go directly into the FlashRouters Privacy App settings to manage your basic router settings and VPN connection settings right away.
Please note, after accessing the FlashRouter Settings at the Local IP Address, you will be prompted to enter an admin username and password. You can find this information in the subsections below.
DD-WRT - Firmware GUI
Local IP Address: 192.168.11.1
Username: flashrouter
Password: ddwrt
Keep in mind that if you enable HTTPS and disable HTTP access you will need to add https:// in front of the Local IP Address to access your FlashRouter’s firmware settings.
If your router has been reset for any reason then you can access the router at a local IP address of 192.168.1.1.
Please note you will be required to set the administration username and password as well as your WiFi and VPN network settings after a reset.
DD-WRT Router VPN Setup

Wireless Repeater Setup
If you need to extend your wireless and wired connection capabilities, you can setup a FlashRouter as a Wireless Repeater. In Wireless Repeater mode the FlashRouter connects to your main router via WiFi and then creates a completely separate network segment for you. This new “repeater” network then transmits your internet signal via FlashRouter LAN ports for wired internet access while also creating a new Wireless Extender network that will expand your wireless network range throughout your home or office just like a mesh network.
Preparing for Wireless Repeater Setup
Verify your wireless information
To connect your FlashRouter wirelessly to your existing wireless network you will need the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and Wireless Password of the existing wireless network that you will repeat. Verify and note this information.
We recommend using a 2.4GHz network to repeat as this network will have more range. Be sure to click Add under the 2.4GHz settings and not the 5GHz settings.
DD-WRT Router Setup for Wireless Repeater
Disable Firewall
Navigate to Security > Firewall
- Set SPI Firewall to Disable.
- Click Save.
Enter Wireless settings
Navigate to Wireless > Basic Settings
Select Add in the Virtual Interface area.
In the Wireless Physical Interface settings for the 2.4GHz network set the Wireless Mode to Repeater.
FlashRouters with a Broadcom chipset will have Repeater as an option in the dropdown but FlashRouters with an Atheroes chipset will not. Select Client or Client (Routed) if Repeater is not listed for your FlashRouter.
Change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) to match exactly with the Wireless Network Name of the network that you will repeat.
In the Virtual Interfaces settings change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) to FlashRouter24 or any other unique SSID.
CLICK SAVE
Enter Wireless Security settings
Navigate to Wireless > Wireless Security
- Duplicate the wireless security settings that are set for the other bands for the newly created virtual interface.

Navigate to the Administration > Backup page.
- Click the Backup button.
- A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
- You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.
DNS Setup for DD-WRT FlashRouters
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. DNS resolves website domain names (www.website.com) to IP Addresses so you don’t have to remember the IP Address of every site you visit.
We setup each FlashRouter with Google DNS (8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4) and/or OpenDNS (208.67.220.220 , 208.67.222.222) to prevent your ISP DNS from leaking when connected to the FlashRouter.
By using a trusted DNS server like those listed below, or from your trusted VPN service provider, you can prevent ISP’S from compiling your browsing data and selling it to third parties without your consent.
Recommended DNS servers
GoogleDNS
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS
Primary DNS: 208.67.220.220
Secondary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Cloudfare
Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1
Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.1
Level 3
Primary DNS: 209.244.0.3
Secondary DNS: 209.244.0.4
How to change the DNS on your FlashRouter
We preset each FlashRouter with GoogleDNS and OpenDNS so there is no need to change the DNS servers unless you have reset the FlashRouter or want to use different DNS servers.
Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup
- Scroll down to Network Address Server Settings (DHCP).
- Enter in any combination of valid DNS servers into Statict DNS fields 1, 2, and 3.
- Click Apply Settings at the bottom of the page.
- Power cycle your FlashRouter off and back on.
DNS Leak Test
We recommend checking to see if your DNS is leaking when using VPN.
Why is the internet LED red on my router?
Upon flashing the router from stock manufacturer firmware to DD-WRT firmware many buttons and lights on the router may have altered functionality. With DD-WRT firmware on certain devices a red internet/WAN light means a successful connection. While in factory firmware a red light denotes an issue with your internet connection. For anyone with DD-WRT firmware, this is not something you need to worry about as long as the internet functionality is in fact working.

How do I set a Static IP for my device in DD-WRT?
It can be very useful to setup static local IP addresses for devices on your FlashRouter network. By assigning specific IP’s to specific devices you can better control and manage how your network and the internet interacts with each device.
Once you setup a static IP you can set access restrictions, monitor and control bandwidth, as well as bypass a router VPN connection or setup a device specific Kill Switch. Without a static IP assignment you may lose device specific settings when the DHCP lease to the router expires.
Navigate to Services > Services
- Under Static Leases click Add once.
- Fill in the newly appeared fields.
- MAC Address: Enter the device’s MAC address which can be found on the device itself or on the Status > LAN page.
- Hostame: Enter a name for the device. Make sure that there are no spaces.
- IP Address: Enter the desired static IP Address of the device. It should be on the same subnet as the FlashRouter (192.168.11.x)
- Client Lease Time: Leave this field blank.
- Click Apply Settings
- Repeat the steps above for each individual static IP address you would like to setup. If you click Add before clicking Apply Settings you will lose the configuration.
If a device has wireless and ethernet capabilities the MAC Addresses will be different for a wireless connection and an ethernet connection. Make sure to set a static IP for both MAC Addresses in this case.

What is a DNS leak and how can I prevent a DNS leak in my router?
What is a DNS leak?
A DNS Leak is an instance where your ISP receives DNS requests despite being connected to a VPN tunnel.
How do I check if my DNS is leaking?
- Perform the extended test on DNSLeakTest.com. Be sure to do so on multiple web browsers for best accuracy.
- Here you should only find one server and your ISP should not be listed as your actual ISP.
- If your actual ISP is not listed there is no DNS leak.
How can I prevent a DNS leak in DD-WRT?
Check your device's browser settings
Updates to web browsers have added DNS settings capabilities, while this often makes your browsing experience more secure it can also effect the results of a DNS leak test. You can go into your browser’s settings and search for “DNS” and disable the DNS of the browser for more accurate DNS leak test results.
A simple web search for “DNS settings [browser name]” should return helpful information for finding the setting in your browser.
Adjust DD-WRT settings
1. On the Setup > Basic Setup page of the DD-WRT settings check the Ignore WAN DNS box.
This setting may not appear in older DD-WRT firmware builds. If it is not appearing for you, upgrade your DD-WRT firmware.
2. Lower on the same page check the Forced DNS Redirection box.
3. Click Apply Settings at the bottom of the page and then wait a full minute and power the FlashRouter off and back on. Reconnect to the FlashRouter’s network once it boots back up and then make sure you are connected to VPN by going to https://whatismyipaddress.com then perform the DNS leak test again.
Adding your VPN provider’s DNS servers to the router’s configuration can be helpful as well. The DNS servers are typically found on the VPN provider’s website or you can reach out to their team for a recommendation of what DNS servers to enter.
Why can’t I connect to WiFi using the WPS button feature?
DD-WRT firmware automatically disables the WPS feature as it is a known security vulnerability. This makes your router more secure with DD-WRT than with factory firmware.
For any device that uses a WPS WiFi connection there should always be an alternate method to connect the device via WiFi.

DD-WRT Quick Start Guide
Why can’t I access router settings?
Be sure to first try the preset details to access your FlashRouter’s settings.
First time setup
Are you connected to the FlashRouter's network?
In order to access the FlashRouter’s settings you need to be connected to the FlashRouter’s network via ethernet or WiFi.
It is possible that if you are connected to the FlashRouter’s network you device might have static IP settings from a previous connection preventing it from being read correctly. Check your device’s static IP settings before proceeding.
Is your FlashRouter wired correctly?
Your FlashRouter should be wired as detailed in our Connect FlashRouter to the Internet setup.
A common mistake is to connect from your modem or other router to a LAN/numbered port of the FlashRouter instead of the WAN/Internet port of the FlashRouter as it should be. Doing so results in no access to the FlashRouter’s settings.
Lost access
How to find you FlashRouter's Local IP Address?
It is possible that your Local IP Address was changed at some point. Your Local IP Address is the address that you can access the FlashRouter’s settings with. We recommend finding the Local IP Address of the FlashRouter.
Was your FlashRouter reset?
If your FlashRouter is showing a local IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and you are seeing ‘dd-wrt’ as an available network in your wireless networks, your FlashRouter was reset. Reconfigure your FlashRouter.
Keep in mind that seeing a Local IP Address of 192.168.1.1 can also mean your are wired incorrectly and the router has not been reset. Be sure to check your wireless networks for ‘dd-wrt’. If the FlashRouter’s wireless network name appears as it was set then your FlashRouter was not reset and you should see the above section.
Tried updating firmware
Why can't I access my FlashRouter after a firmware upgrade?
When performing a firmware upgrade there is a dropdown that has Don’t Reset or Reset to Default settings as options.
If you accidentally selected Reset to Default settings you will need to reconfigure your FlashRouter.
If you had Don’t Reset selected and are still unable to connect to the FlashRouter’s network after a firmware upgrade, first make sure you are connected to the FlashRouter’s network as WiFi can disconnect during an upgrade, and then Reboot the FlashRouter.

How do I read my Wireless status?
The wireless status page is very helpful in diagnosing where a wireless issue stems from. Make sure the settings displayed on this page match the actual settings you have set in the DD-WRT Wireless settings. Review our recommended wireless settings for your FlashRouter if you are not getting accurate readouts.
Navigate to Status > Wireless
Interface
Select from the wireless interface that you want to view the readouts for.
MAC Address
Used to identify the wireless interface.
Chipset
Displays the wireless hardware that your FlashRouter uses.
Radio
Should always be set to Radio is On unless you have intentionally disabled the wireless on the FlashRouter. If this is displaying Radio is Off for certain wireless interfaces we recommend adjusting the Wireless Channel on the Wireless > Basic Settings page.
Mode
This should read as AP unless you are using an Advanced Wireless setup such as a Repeater, Client, or Repeater Bridge.
Network
Displays the wireless network mode that you have set for a specific wireless interface.
SSID
Displays the wireless network name that you have set for a specific wireless interface.
Channel
Displays the channel that you have set for a specific wireless interface. If this reads as Unknown it is best to select a new wireless channel or reboot the FlashRouter and check again.
TX Power
Displays the wireless transmit power that you have set for a specific wireless interface. If this reads as Unknown it is best reboot the FlashRouter and check again.
Rate
Displays an approximation of the max wireless speed available on a wireless band.
ACK Timing
Displays the ACK Timing that you have set for a specific wireless interface. If this reads as Unknown it is best reboot the FlashRouter and check again.
Encryption
Should always read as Enabled, WPA2 Personal.
Received (RX)
If this appears as 0% and there are no errors then it means that no devices have connected to the wireless interface yet. If this appears as 0% and the errors match the amount of OK packets you will need to adjust the wireless settings on the Wireless > Basic Settings page.
Transmitted (TX)
If this appears as 0% you will need to adjust the wireless settings on the Wireless > Basic Settings page.
Wireless Repeater Bridge Setup
If you need to extend your connection capabilities and you are not able to wire directly into your main router, you can setup a FlashRouter as a Wireless Repeater Bridge. In Wireless Repeater Bridge mode the FlashRouter connects to your main router on the same subnet via WiFi, and then transmits your internet signal via the FlashRouter for internet access anywhere in your home or office.
Preparing for Wireless Repeater Bridge Setup
Verify your wireless information
In order to setup your FlashRouter as a Wireless Repeater Bridge, you will need the exact SSID and password of your existing wireless network. Make sure you have this information before proceeding.
We recommend using a 2.4GHz network to repeat as this network will have more range. Be sure to click Add under the 2.4GHz settings and not the 5GHz settings.
Locate the Local IP Address of the existing wireless network
Locate the Local IP Address of the existing router that the FlashRouter will be bridged to.
DD-WRT Router Setup for Wireless Repeater Bridge
Disable Firewall
Navigate to Security > Firewall
- Set SPI Firewall to Disable.
- Uncheck all boxes except for Filter Multicast.
- Click Save.
Disable DNSmasq
Navigate to Services > Services
- Set DNSmasq to Disable.
- Click Save.
Enter Wireless settings
Navigate to Wireless > Basic Settings
Select Add in the Virtual Interface area.
In the Wireless Physical Interface settings for the 2.4GHz network set the Wireless Mode to Repeater Bridge.
Change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) to match exactly with the Wireless Network Name of the network that you will bridge to.
In the Virtual Interfaces settings change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) to FlashRouter24 or any other unique SSID.
CLICK SAVE
Enter Wireless Security settings
Navigate to Wireless > Wireless Security
- Duplicate the wireless security settings that are set for the other bands for the newly created virtual interface.
- Change the WPA Shared Key to match exactly with the Wireless Password of the network that you will bridge to.
- Click Save.
Change the FlashRouter's Local IP Address
Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup
- Set the Local IP Address to a different address on the same subnet as the existing network that you noted early. (example: if the existing network is 192.168.1.1 then set the Local IP Address to 192.168.1.2)
- Set the Gateway to the Local IP Address of the existing network. (example: 192.168.1.1)
- Set the Local DNS to the Local IP Address of the existing network. (example: 192.168.1.1)
- Click Save.
Change the FlashRouter's Operating Mode
Navigate to Setup > Advanced Routing
- Set the Operating Mode to Router.
- Click Apply Settings.
Reboot your FlashRouter
Power off the FlashRouter for 30 seconds and then power it back on. When it boots back up you will be able to access the FlashRouter’s settings at the new Local IP Address that you set. Your existing network and the FlashRouter’s network will now be bridged wirelessly.
Back up your settings
Navigate to Administration > Backup
- Click the Backup button.
- A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
- You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.

Verify a successful VPN connection
Navigate to Status > OpenVPN
- You should now see a CONNECTED SUCCESS message.
- Visit OverPlay’s website to verify your new IP address and virtual location.
In some cases you may notice that the location is not showing the same location as the server you have input in your router settings; this is because geo tracking tools are often tricked by VPN connections. As long as you see an IP address that is not the same as your normal Internet IP address then you are indeed connected to OverPlay.
Back up your settings
Navigate to Administration > Backup
- Click the Backup button.
- A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
- You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.
How to change the OverPlay server
- Copy the new OverPlay server address from the above server list.
- Paste the server into the Server IP/Name field.
