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.

WireGuard VPN with kill switch does NOT (re)connect automatically indeed (i.e. stays red) on current firmware https://www.cudy.com/cdn/shop/files/WR3000E-R53-2.4.7-20250528-182254-sysupgrade.zip in WISP mode after reboot(s) or when host WiFi comes up (again).
Cf. Evian’s requests currently at the bottom of https://www.cudy.com/de-de/blogs/faq/wie-stelle-ich-den-vpn-client-ein-um-auf-einen-remote-vpn-server-zugreifen?page=5#Comments-589223624948
From the web interface which most clients should not (have to) access, VPN can be made connect (turn green) by manual iterations through toggling it off, saving, waiting, then toggling VPN on again, saving again (steps possibly required repeatedly), or comes on again (then) automatically after running Diagnostics:
This behavior suggests there may be a timing issue of VPN initially failing e.g. because WISP (or generally WAN) isn’t fully up yet for a WireGuard tunnel to establish, then staying disconnected because it may not be retrying (frequently enough, or at all).
If auto-connect can’t be made more reliable, dedicated buttons to (re)connect VPN and show details of its log and status would at least help admins recover.
As a defense against leakage, of course enabling “VPN kill switch” often isn’t optional.

“Hello,
We are using Cudy M3000 routers with firmware version 2.4.8 and have encountered the following issues:
No Option for Bulk Subnet Entry:
There is currently no way to add multiple subnets in bulk — each one has to be entered manually. This becomes very inefficient when dealing with a large number of subnets.
Is there any method to simplify this process (e.g. import from file, support for subnet ranges, etc.)? Are there any plans to introduce such functionality in future firmware updates?
Unable to Delete Subnet – Duplicate Error:
When attempting to delete a previously added subnet, we receive an error stating that duplicates exist, even though the subnet was added only once.
This prevents us from removing or modifying the entry. Could you advise on how to resolve this issue, and whether it is expected to be fixed in an upcoming release?
Looking forward to your assistance.”

@Dear Fahim,
We don’t offer the VPN file. You need to get it by yourself.
“Cudy M1800 v2 user please provide vpn configure file. user id or password.”
@Dear Alf,
Our technical support has sent you the firmware via email. Please check.
“I have the latest firmware 2.4.7 installed. Please advise.”
