VPN feature is useless - If you just want a wireless modem its overpriced
The VPN feature of this product is useless if you want to access your internal network.
The product has the option for enabling it as a "VPN Server", but doesn't allow access to your internal subnet range.
Having read forums of similar issues, responses from TP-Link have been that the VPN traffic once connect to the router is still treated as "external", so you have to open up ports using NAT and expose your internal network, as you do not have any control in the NAT options for where the external traffic is coming from. If you could choose the source as the VPN traffic it wouldn't be so much of an issue, but this cannot be done.
This makes the VPN server feature of this router totally pointless.
There is a hack for manually creating a route on your VPN connected computer to access the internal network, but this has been flakey to get operational and inconsistent.
Having chatted to TP-Link support directly about it, they claim that "This router is a VPN pass-through only". Yet the router clearly has the option for enabling it as a "VPN Server" and is spruced as being VPN capable.
If TP-Link allowed you to issue IP's to VPN connections from your internal address range, or allowed routing between the two networks, this would fix this issue. Yet the request has fallen on deaf ears.
Don't buy it for its supposed VPN capabilities, you will be disappointed.
