Configuring VPN on Keenetic routers

Getting your VPN settings

Before you begin, go to your dashboard to retrieve your connection details or download the necessary configuration files:

• VPN server address.
• Username and password.
• Configuration file (for WireGuard or OpenVPN).

VPN connection parameters in the dashboard

Router configuration

To access the web interface, navigate to http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser and enter your administrator credentials. Once logged in, you will see the System Dashboard.
In the side menu, go to the Internet → Other Connections section.

Option A: Setting up WireGuard

If you are using the WireGuard protocol:

1. Click the Import from file button.
2. Select the .conf file you previously downloaded from the Fornex dashboard.
3. Ensure the connection toggle is set to On.

Adding a new VPN connection

Option B: Other protocols (PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN)

For other connection types:

1. Click Add connection.
2. In the configuration window, enter the following details:
   • Connection name — any descriptive name (e.g., Fornex VPN).
   • Type (protocol) — select the required protocol (PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPsec, or OpenVPN).
   • Server address — the IP or hostname from your Client Area.
   • Username and Password — your VPN credentials.
3. Check the Use for accessing the Internet box.
4. Hit Save.

Configuring an L2TP/IPsec connection

Configuring connection priorities

To ensure the router routes your traffic through the VPN, you must set the correct priorities regardless of which protocol you chose.

1. Go to Internet → Connection Policies.
2. Drag your new VPN connection to the top of the list (above your Ethernet or ISP connection).
3. Click Save.

Setting the VPN as the primary connection

Once configured, the router will establish the connection. You can verify your new IP address using the 2IP service.

Notes

• You can toggle the VPN connection on or off at any time in the Other connections tab.
• You can change your server location in the dashboard. If you switch to a different country, remember to update the server address in your router settings or upload a new configuration file.
