This application note describes how to route all internet traffic via the Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN service using LAN to LAN VPN tunnel configuration. This configuration applies to DrayOS routers (DV2760, DV2912, DV2860, DV2925, DV2952, and DV3220)
Supported VPN tunnel modes are PPTP and L2TP. PPTP provides encryption for extra security and is also faster than L2TP which does not encrypt the data.
Step 1
Access your Private internet access account under PPTP/L2TP/SOCK Username and Password click “Regenerate Username and Password”.
Step 2: Configure DrayTek Router

For improved DNS query response time change the preferred DNS server to the PIA: 209.222.18.222 and 209.222.18.218 as shown below.
The current PIA support OpenVPN – PPTP/L2TP is no longer an available option.
