I was faced with that problem just the other day.

I was starting to get annoyed with DynDNS’s nag emails, asking me to either log in and “touch” my WRT54GL router’s host record every 30 days or to upgrade to a paid service that does not require a periodic touch.

In this How To, I will show you how to create a VPN between a LinkSys WRT54GL and a LinkSys RV082 (RV042 could be used also).

As usual, if the post helps you, please leave me a comment!
