    What kind of VPN ?

    There are L2TP, IPSec, PPTP, OpenVPN and many more.

    PPTP and IPSec would be grand.

    PPTP is filed in the same category as WEP nowadays :pac:

    There are actually internet providers, who us it for auth purposes. Think I've come across one like that in Austria.

    And yes, it wouldn't be my pick, if i wanted security.

    right back to this. I ended up with a Ubiquity USG, which i am about to **** in the bin. the configuration on them is way to hit and miss and i have not been able to successfully establish a PPTP or L2TP VPN to either despite my efforts and the efforts of the "experts" on the internet, it just refuses point blank to establish a connection.

    So back to my original question. Can anyone recommend a a simple solution for me here. I don't need anything complicated, I just want to VPN to look at a DVR from my android phone.

    Asus routers with the asuswrt work perfectly for me. I run an OpenVPN server and haven't had any issues. They also support PPTP and IPSec

    Actually went with a netgear nighthawk. The struggle though :P went to argos..got one...brought it home...turns out someone had returned it previously after a botched firmware upgrade and it was stuck in a booting loop....no replacement in nearest argos...off to another one...finally got one that worked.... the actual setup was a breeze...id say under 10 minutes to get the WAN, my wireless and VPN working.

    Anyone wanna buy a Ubiquity USG which doesnt like VPN ? :P
