Liberty shield vpn router

What is PPTP?

Point to Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) is the most commonly used method for establishing virtual private networks (VPNs).

PPTP supports up to 128 bit session encryption keys and only requires a username, password, and server address in order to establish a VPN connection.

It tends to be the fastest option for speed (i.e. video streaming) for most of our VPN Router customers.

Due to changes implemented by Apple, PPTP can no longer be directly configured on MacOs or iOS devices.


What is L2TP?

Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) is a popular method for establishing VPN connections and is provided as an option by most Internet service providers (ISPs).

L2TP supports up to 256 bit session keys using the IPSec protocol, however the session keys can vary depending on the algorithms being used. The protocol also implements double encapsulation of data for better security.

Due to the extra encryption your VPN speed will tend to be slightly slower when compared with PPTP and OpenVPN.

L2TP is recommended for people who require greater security due to do the professional nature of their internet use. It is also recommended for people looking to setup VPNs just directly onto their mobile devices.

I assume you had to put the VM hub into modem mode? Annoying this as you then have everyone connecting to the VPN router then.. I found a way of only getting the VPN to be active on my streaming devices only took me like 3 months to realise this was possible on ddwrt lol
 
@bazcfc1 A guys got a liberty shield router, but cant get it connected. Any ideas?
Hes plugged it in, but as no instructions, the guy he got it off said it was just plug and play. Im guessing something similar to the spider router.

Have they contacted customer support have a look on back or side or even bottom of router details may be there I got mine off amazon where did the one in question come from is it showing a wireless network UK-wifi then numbers
 
No not showing up on network at all. Got no stickers on it anywhere with the wifi code or anything. He got it from a guy brand new and wrapped, but as to where it came from originally I have no idea, but he paid 35 quid for it. Will nip round and possibly contact support, just thought he may have it connected wrong or something
