    You don’t have to open ports on a dd wrt router. You can configure your own openvpn.
    As long as the device you are using (to access your box) has openvpn configuration then just upload the config file your router will produce to the device you are using.
    You must be aware that opening ports is dangerous for your security.

    Im running a 2015 macbook pro to try and open the 8888 port for my mut@nt box, and i do not have openvpn on the mac, i bought the router to put everything through the vpn, rather than individual installs..??

    are you trying to access the mu@nt externally ? i.e http://<Your Public IP>:8888 (If yes, please don't and use a VPN or you may start getting strange messages on the screen ) your VM router should be in router mode when using you own router or you may come across the double Nat headache.(google double Nat)

    your port forward should be Mutant - TCP - Blank - 8888 - 192.168.xxx.xxx - 8888

    P.S ensure the Mut@nt has the correct gateway ;-)

    I think you are mixed up cope. VM router needs to be in modem mode to prevent double nat.
    I can access my box externally using vpn. Ie http etc.
    Opening ports on you router is not very secure for your network.

    No, i'm trying to access my box internally, [ wanting to look at the oscam interface ] Yes using my virgin router was no problem.. 192.168.xx.xx:8888.... but using my new netgear nighthawk router with DD-WRT, is giving me a problem, 100.100.xxx.xxx:8888 just will not open..... Ashley69, was reading something that was on about double nat, [ but i know nothing about networking, so it lost me a little ] so, is it a must !! that my virgin router has to go into modem mode before it would allow me to correct with port 8888, I have set up port forwarding in the netgear router, as this i knew about, but was getting nowhere with it, i tried a static ip addy on the mutant box, i tried a static ip addy out of the DHCP range, i then tried DMZ [ i know that is very unwise ] but i had to at least try it, but no luck there either, I even disabled the router fire wall [ yes defo not recommended ] but has i know sod all about networking, i gave these thing a try, but i`m still not getting the post to open ???
    What else can i say !!.....

    Sorry mate. Thought you were trying to acces from outside.
    If you want access the box internally you don’t need to open ports.
    Put you SH into modem mode.
    Switch both routers off.
    Turn on Nighthawk router and wait a minute a so.
    Turn SH on. It will take a while for it to obtain the wan ip. (Sometimes it can take up to 30 minutes so don’t worry if nothing happens)
    Your NH router will probably now have a different DHCP range ie 192.168.1.?
    If you have set any devices to have a static ip you may have to change them to reflect your dhcp range.
    Try it now.

    PS: once you put SH into modem mode the remaining Ethernet ports will not work. If you need extra ports you can by a 4 port switch for a couple of pounds.

    OK Ashley69, thanks for this, i already have a 8 port switch m8, and i did have 4 cameras on static ip addys on the vermin router, so, yes, i will need to re-configure them again i presume, so if this works, then i can close the port forwarding [ 8888 ] that i have on the netgear router, Cheers bud

    No luck with these settings, the netgear router ip address did not change, and port 8888 would not connect, someone i spoke too could not under stand why the netgear router had an ip address of 100.100.xxx.xxx. when the virgin router was 192.168.0.1...
    What else can i say !!.....

    You can change that in your dhcp router settings.
