1. Getting started:
- If you are following this guide it means you have no problems connecting to your FlashRouter network and accessing your FlashRouter settings.
- If you are having trouble accessing your router settings then you can always follow our guide on how to access your router settings or if needed how to reset your router to default DD-WRT firmware settings before proceeding with your VyprVPN client connection setup.
- Log into the VyprVPN website to make sure your account is active and your username and password are correct. If you are unable to login to their website then you have the incorrect information for the setup below.
- IMPORTANT: Do not follow the guide on the VyprVPN website for DD-WRT routers from FlashRouters. If the instructions below do not get you connected to VPN, contact FlashRouters support right away.
2. Entering VyprVPN settings:
In your DD-WRT FlashRouter settings click on the Services > VPN page. Leave all settings not mentioned below as their default setting.

3. Verifying a successful VPN connection:
How can I tell if my VPN connection is active?
- You should now see a CONNECTED SUCCESS message on your Status > OpenVPN page.
- if you login to your account on the VyprVPN website you should see an active connection to the server you have input into your FlashRouter settings.
- Visit http://www.whatismyipaddress.com to verify your new IP address and virtual location.
Note: In some cases you may notice that the location is not showing the same location as the server you have input in your router settings; this is because geo tracking tools are often tricked by VPN connections. As long as you see an IP address that is not the same as your normal Internet IP address then you are indeed connected to VyprVPN.
4. Backing up your settings:
- It is always a good idea to save a backup of your working VPN settings after completing this setup, so that in the result of a reset or faulty settings change you can load your working settings in a few simple clicks.
- Go to the Administration > Backup page and click the Backup button. A file called nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer. We recommend renaming this file "FlashRouter Backup" for easy searching should you ever need it.
5. Troubleshooting:
- If you have any issues with your connection, you can review our VyprVPN Troubleshooting page.
