Weekly Update 22 July 2025


This video discusses DrayTek's EasyVPN feature available in DrayOS 5 routers, and demonstrates how to use it.

EasyVPN supports the use of multiple VPN protocols, including IPsec, OpenVPN, and WireGuard. If the preferred protocol is unavailable, EasyVPN will automatically select an alternative. Setup for the end user is simplified, as it eliminates the need to generate WireGuard keys, import OpenVPN configuration files, or upload certificates.
