Running a PROXY client on an ASUS router

First find the firmware version, shown at the top of the router’s web interface next to Firmware Version. It decides where the client lives. Every version can import the OpenV⁠PN file from your Bebra dashboard and also handles PPTP.

Updated

Which firmware do you have

3.0.0.4.388 or later

V⁠PN → V⁠PN Fusion. A profile can be limited to chosen devices. Steps below.

Before 3.0.0.4.388

V⁠PN → V⁠PN Client tab. See the older menu.

Setting up V⁠PN Fusion

  1. Download a server file

    The file comes from your Bebra dashboard, under Router → Other routers. Click Get router settings, then Download .OV⁠PN next to the server for your country.

  2. Create a profile

    Sign in at www.asusrouter.com (or the router’s IP, such as 192.168.50.1) and go to V⁠PN → V⁠PN Fusion. Click the add icon, choose OpenV⁠PN as the type and give the profile a name, such as the country.

  3. Import the file and the login

    Click Import .ov⁠pn file, pick the file and wait until the page says the upload is complete. Then type the login and password from your dashboard, because the file doesn’t include them.

  4. Turn it on

    Click Apply and Enable and wait for Connected. To keep some devices off Bebra, switch off Apply to all devices and pick the ones that should use it.

Firmware before 3.0.0.4.388

On older firmware the client is under Advanced Settings, in the V⁠PN section, on the V⁠PN Client tab. Click Add profile at the bottom and open the OpenV⁠PN tab. Enter a description and the login and password from your dashboard, then use Choose File to select the .ov⁠pn file and click Upload. When the page says Complete, click OK.

The profile now appears in the list. Click Activate on its row. A tick next to the profile means the router is connected.

PPTP. The profile window also has a PPTP tab, which needs no file. Put the server IP in the server field and the login and password below it. PPTP is weaker than OpenV⁠PN, so turn it on only if OpenV⁠PN won’t connect.

What to leave alone. V⁠PN Server and Instant Guard in the same section let devices into your home network from outside, such as your phone while you travel. Bebra runs through the client, so their settings can stay as they are.

ASUS setup questions

The profile won’t connect

Check the login and password, ideally by copying them from your dashboard. Next, try the file for a different server. Each file has a backup TCP address, which helps when a provider blocks UDP. If nothing gets through, the provider may be blocking OpenV⁠PN entirely, and the Bebra app on your devices is the next thing to try.

Only some devices go through Bebra

The profile in V⁠PN Fusion has Apply to all devices switched off. Turn it on, or add the missing devices to the profile.

Can V⁠PN Fusion run two countries at once?

Not with one login. A login carries one connection at a time, so a second profile using it disconnects the first. Keep a profile per country and switch them on one at a time.
