Hi!

I got a trial subscription for Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection with the intention to see how it works with my router before buying. When I visit https://my.kaspersky.com/VPN#/portal/pages/ksec there is no option for routers, though. Is this a limitation of the free account? A country limitation? I live in Sweden, not North Korea. 

Thanks!

Hello @kiQ7teA, 

Welcome!

1. Unfortunately yes, OpenVPN is only available for paid subscription users: How to set up VPN in third-party clients                                                                                                                                    
2. Regional limitations are discussed here: VPN unavailability in certain regions. 
3. About versions of Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection.

Thank you🙏

Do you know if it´s possible to get a router configuration for torrenting or is it only possible to choose country for the virtual server?

Hello @kiQ7teA, 

Thank you for posting back & the additional question!

Please read: Network-wide protection: how to set up VPN on a router. 

1. Torrent router configuration is via Openvpn, only available to Premium subscribers this includes manual country selection, but, we may not be clear on what (you're) asking, so IF (you) don't mind - please restate / redefine the query & post back ? 
2. Torrenting - country selection - via the actual vpn is paid - premium only - where there's a crown👑 - it represents paid/premium (in all Kaspersky software)  

Thank you🙏

Hi Flood and Flood's wife! Thanks for taking the time and effort to sort out my questions 🙂

It´s time to update my Kaspersky subscription and instead of spending money on an additional VPN subscription I´m thinking of getting Kaspersky Plus or Premium that includes unlimited VPN. I would set up Kaspersky VPN on my router (running Asuswrt-Merlin) to be used when torrenting, having the torrent client running on my NAS and route only the traffic to/from my NAS through the VPN client (using VPN Director). 

The configuration for the router would have to be for a server allowing P2P, right? Looking at the pictures on the blog and previous posts here on the forum I don´t see the option to choose a server for torrenting when creating a configuration file, just country selections.

Is it only Premium that enables torrent router configuration, would it not be available with a Plus subscription?

Cheers!

Hello @kiQ7teA, 

You're most welcome!

Thank you for posting back, the clarification & question(s).

**IF the *only* reason (you're)) purchasing the VPN is to have the torrent client running on the NAS and routing only the traffic to/from the NAS through the VPN client (using VPN Director)*And* to do that (you) have to be able to select a *server*  And IF (you) currently have an active paid Kaspersky subscription you may wish to log a request with Kaspersky - ask Kaspersky Customer Service https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts - to ask their expert VPN team - on the support page, select Email, fill in the template as shown & select (your) Kaspersky application from the drop-down-list(A); if there's difficulty logging the case bc (you) don't currently have Plus OR Premium -explain to support - you're in the process of *upgrading* & post back the Incident request number please - it's prefixed with INC0000?                                                             

1. VPN protocols (OpenVPN, WireGuard) are available for both Kaspersky Premium & Kaspersky Plus subscriptions. 
2. There is no option to *choose a server for torrenting when creating a configuration file* 

• Select Protocol        
• Select Location       
• Create Key             
• Download file         

-> Upload / import OR *copy* / paste the config file to the router. 

Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? 

Thank you🙏

Hello Flood and Flood's wife!

In the end I didn´t upgrade my Kaspersky subscription, instead I added an inexpensive subscription with a separate VPN-provider. There seemed to be to much hustle with a limited support for routers compared to other VPN-providers. Still keeping my Kaspersky Standard and I appreciate your great help!
