ExpiredFastestVPN: How to connect a DrayTek VPN router with L2TP over IPsec
This article demonstrates how to setup a dial out VPN to FastestVPN using the L2TP over IPSec protocol on DrayOS routers.
1. You will need an account with FastestVPN . You can apply for an account via their website fastestvpn.com
2. Get the FastestVPN server's domain from here. In the following picture, uk2-ln-l2tp-01.jumptoserver.com is the hostname of the VPN server we'll be connecting to:
3. Set up a VPN profile, go to [VPN and Remote Access] > [LAN to LAN] and click an available index to create a VPN profile.
4. Give the profile a name and enable it, select "Dial-out" for Call Direction.
5. In Dial-out Settings:
- Select "L2TP" and set IPsec Policy to "Must",
- Enter the domain name of the VPN server obtained in step 2 at Server IP address/Hostname
- Enter Username (This is your FastestVPN account username)
- Enter Password (This is your FastestVPN account password)
- Type 'psk123' under IKE Pre-Shared Key
6. At TCP/IP Network Settings:
- Change Routing to NAT for this VPN connection
- (optional) Enable Change Default Route to this VPN tunnel option if you want all traffic to FastestVPN.
After finishing the above settings, we can check the VPN status via VPN and Remote Access >> Connection Management page.
