In this tutorial I will be using an Advanced Tomato router to demonstrate how to set up an OpenVPN client that will encrypt all outgoing Internet traffic on your LAN.
Many VPN providers limit the number of simultaneous clients you can have connected to their service. This can be frustrating in a household where you might have multiple PCs, smartphones, gaming consoles, etc. that you would like to all have protected. Running a VPN client on your router also greatly simplifies configuration, as you only have to configure your router, instead of each individual device.

My hacking career began at age 12, when my father brought home a Sinclair ZX-81 computer kit and a lifelong fascination with computing was born. I became a privacy and security advocate after learning of the US Government's criminal investigation against Phil Zimmermann. Years later I found myself in Silicon Valley being paid to hack Phil's PGP code. I soon tired of the rat race and moved to the Northwoods of Minnesota where I have over 2 million acres of protected wilderness to roam. Here I indulge in my passions for wilderness and technology and as an advocate for computer security and privacy.
