This howto describes setting up a LT2P over IPsec VPN server on your router with TomatoUSB firmware. This should allow you to connect using the built-in client to your Mac, iPhone or Android device. (Not sure about Windows.)
At the end of this tutorial, you should have a L2TP/IPsec VPN server that starts automatically on boot. Mac/iPhone/Android devices can connect with their native client and will be assigned an IP address within your LAN subnet. They should be able to talk to other devices on your LAN and should be able to contact hosts on the Internet NAT'd behind your WAN IP address.
- Router running Shibby's fork of TomatoUSB
- entware installed to a USB stick mounted at /opt (howto)
