VPNs that use IPSec and AH (Authentication Header known as protocol 51) are incompatible with the Router.
AH has limitations due to occasional incompatibility with the NAT standard.
Change the IP address for the Router to another subnet to avoid a conflict between the VPN IP address and your local IP address. For example, if your VPN server assigns an IP address 192.168.15.X (X is a number from 1 to 254) and your local LAN IP address is 192.168.15.X (X is the same number used in the VPN IP address), the Router will have difficulties routing information to the right location. If you change the Router’s IP address to 192.168.2.1, that should solve the problem. Change the Router’s IP address through the Basic Setup tab of the
Your VPN may require port 500/UDP packets to be passed to the computer that is connecting to the IPSec server. Refer to “Problem #9, I need to set up online game hosting or use other Internet applications” for details. Check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com for more information.

You can get more information by viewing the documentation provided with the server you installed. Follow these steps to set up port forwarding through the Router’s
