Hello Everyone,
I am from Hyderabad and recently started using Airtel Xstream. This is by far the best internet service in my area. But I am having some issues with creating an OpenVPN server using my Asus Router. The router mentions a possible Double NAT issue when creating DDNS and that this could affect my VPN services and cloud services.
I have read others mention that setting up the main router in bridge mode will eliminate all these issues. I currently have been given a Nokia Router where bridging looks like an impossible task. So my Airtel technician has agreed to replace the Nokia Router with a Huawei Router. From my understanding of other forums, the Huawei router is better for bridging.
I currently have a static IP as I was told by someone that we need static IP for Open VPN Server. I want to know if this is absolutely necessary as creating DDNS should eliminate the need for static IP. Also, I have some others mention that Static IP will create issues when bridging. So I am confused. I am not a super technical person but I used to use the same router in the US and everything was so easy.
Below is my current setup:
Please help friends.
Thank you very much.

Below is my current setup:
- Airtel Xstream 200mbps connection.
- Asus Router attached to Nokia Router. (Nokia Router to be changed to Huawei)
- Static IP already set up. (Please tell me if this is needed or if it will create an issue)
Please help friends.
Thank you very much.
