I’ve been battling with setting up a VPN on my Diskstation for the last 2 days and have tried several services without any luck. I can create the VPN connection within the “Network” page of the DS, and it appears to connect (sometimes), but the device loses it’s connection to the wan, and when I use something like IPLeak or IPMagnet to test it, the external IP never logs and the torrent never does anything (stays at zero kbps dl speed). The same results occur when I try to use a proxy as well. Is there some setting within the DS that prevents VPNs or proxies from working? Is this an issue with the latest DSM 6 update?
In your setup, do you need to have a host PC with a vpn client running the whole time? I’d like to run a vpn without a host PC running a client, but I figure it’s not possible without a vpn client running on my diskstation itself.
