TomatoUSB

I am running Tomato Firmware v1.28.7633 .3-Toastman-VLAN-IPT-ND ND VPN on a Linksys WRT54G-TM.

I have a XP machine that is trying to connect to a L2TP server hosted with hidemynet

I have the added the connection to windows correctly but when I try and connect it fails. The support staff at hidemynet.com seem to think it's cause tomato doesn't support VPN passthough.

They point me to this

Where are those VPN passthrough options commonly found in Linksys-based firmware?[toc, link]
These options are not supported in Tomato. They are actually labeled a little bit incorrectly in Linksys' firmware: When disabled, ports are blocked. When enabled, they did nothing.

I just can't believe that tomato doesn't support VPN passthrough. Is there something I have to do to manually allow the client on my LAN to connect to the VPN servers of hidemynet.com?

I have been searching the net but just can't find anything about this. I only find info pertaining to using the router as a VPN client or server.

The hidemynet staff tells me that I should switch to ddwrt and that would solve the issue.

I would appreciate any guidance on getting this working with my current tomato fw.

ok.. so I solved this and it had nothing to do with the router. My IPSEC service was not running and that was the issue.

Guess the staff at hidemynet was a little too quick to blame the tomato FW.
