Configure PIA OpenVPN with ASUS router setup and enable remote access.
You're navigating a bit of a tricky setup! It sounds like you're trying to connect your VPN to both your home network and a mobile device, but there might be some confusion about how the PIA app and router settings work together. Let me clarify:
- The PIA VPN client should pair with your router's IP address, not just use the same login as your Android device.
- To access your home network from anywhere, ensure your router supports port forwarding or a static IP for the VPN server.
- If you're using the Android app, make sure it's set up to connect to the correct VPN server and that your router is configured properly.
You might want to double-check the router settings and confirm the correct IP address for the VPN server. Let me know if you need help with specific steps!
I don’t understand your router well, but from what I see in this guide, it seems like you just need to download the OVPN configuration from PIA and upload it to your router. Then enter your PIA username and password when prompted. Regarding your phones and router’s public IPs, they should match when using the VPN, or both should connect to the same internal VPN address. To set this up, you’ll need to create a VPN server on your router and configure your laptop or phone as a client. This tutorial might not be fully reliable, but it appears to look promising.
The common idea is incorrect—multiple devices using the same account in PIA don’t enable communication between them. Each connection is limited to sending data out to the internet only. To achieve this, use Federico lists at the bottom, configure a VPN server on your router, and then connect your laptop via VPN to your home router.
