A VPN client is a terminal device or software used to establish a secure connection between a user and a VPN server.
What is VPN?
VPN (Virtual Private Network) helps you access internet resources remotely, securely, and privately with tunneling technology. The VPN encrypts your personal information and hides your IP address from the public when you use the internet. To the users of the VPN, it will look like the computers were directly connected to each other.
Common Network Topology:
Here we take WR2100 as a demonstration.
Step 1: Open a web browser and go to http://cudy.net or http://192.168.10.1.
For details, please refer to How to log into the web interface of Cudy Router?
Step 2: Click on General Settings->VPN and enable VPN.
Default Rule: Allow all devices or Ban all devices to use VPN.
To specify the device, click on System Status-> Devices->VPN to enable or disable it.
Site-to-Site: Allow the devices in two sites to communicate with each other.
VPN Policy:
Disable: No additional setting.
VPN kill switch: Turn off the Internet connectivity when the VPN connection is lost.
Domain: Specify which domains go through the VPN and which don't
Remote Subnet: Specify what subnets go through the VPN and which don't
Step 3: In the Protocol list, select the one you need and enter the VPN information provided by your VPN provider.
• PPTP VPN
Enter the VPN server address (for example, 113.92.73.163) and the VPN Username and password provided by your VPN provider.
• L2TP VPN
Enter the VPN server address (for example 113.92.73.163), VPN username and password, and pre-shared key provided by your VPN provider.
If your VPN provider also provides you the tunnel IP which binds with the account, you can enable the Use custom tunnel IP option.
• OpenVPN
Click on Browser to import the configuration file provided by your VPN provider.
• WireGuard VPN
Click on Browser to import the configuration file provided by your VPN provider.
The Interface and Peer will synchronize automatically from your VPN Provider's CONF File.
• ZeroTier Slave
Type in the ZeroTier Network ID and Gateway provided by the ZeroTier Master. The Gateway can be found on VPN Status part.

I have a Cudy WR6500 and I set up OpenVPN from NordVPN following their instructions (https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/it/articles/31761845199121-Come-configurare-una-VPN-su-un-router-Cudy) but it doesn’t work: the VPN Status is Not Connected and Tunnel IP is 0.0.0.0
@Dear Costas,
Please try to enable the VPN Kill Switch function and check if the problem fixed?
“I have a Cudy AX3000 and I set up WireGuard from Surfshark, but even though the IPv6 switch in the router settings is off, my device’s real location continues to be visible (it only works correctly when IPv6 is disabled on the device i.e. pc, mobile). Surfshark itself told me that they do not support IPv6, and any device that connects to my VPN is unprotected, which is also evident on the Surfshark check page. Is there any idea or solution as the IPv6 switch is off but IPv6 visible?”

@Dear apostolos,
1. Please update the latest firmware of your router first. You can download the firmware on the website below.
https://www.cudy.com/pages/download-center/search
2. Then please check the instruction about the Nord VPN, it is almost the same.
3. If the problem remains, please offer me some information.
The screenshot of the VPN settings page.
Download the Diagnosis bin file in “Diagnostic Tools”→“Diagnosis”→“GO”→“Download”, and send the file to me.
The VPN config file.
I will check and try to find a solution.
