VPN possibilities with 7800N

[alajr_uk]

Hi folks

I've had a 7800N for a few years on my Sky connection and it's worked extremely reliably.

I'm off abroad for a few months and was interested in a setup where I could make use of my existing VPN to connect back to UK services. I can do this fine on my Windows PC or Android phone/tablet, however I wondered if I took my 7800N with me there was a way to get it to work there?

I know there's VPN options in this router, however from my reading so far it seems to be mainly for PPTP to a specific machine, with no DNS suppport or ability to connect multiple devices?

I'm look for a setup akin to this one - http://www.popcorn-tv.com/pwpcontrol.php?pwpID=11777 - where the 7800N plugs in to an existing DSL or cable router and then provides a UK wireless access point.

Is this at all do-able or am I barking up the wrong tree with this particular model of router?

Many thanks

No won't be possible as the DNS servers won't be passed over and traffic will not be routed through the VPN tunnel

Thanks, that's very helpful - I was suspicious this was the case from what I had read but thought it best to confirm. Will look at a DD-WRT router instead.
