TP Link VR900 and VPN

SSH with forwarding would also be a possibility for that kind of purpose.

According to the VR900 manual it only supports site-to-site IPSec with IPs specified for both ends. Not much use for a dial-in VPN.

If the OP wants to be able to dial-in he's going to need a different router, or have another device behind the existing router configured as an end point.

That's exactly how I understand the VR900 works.

Also I am aware that VR900 doesn't support router level VPN client implementation so not going to bother with that.

I am also interested in tunneling in from external connection. So I can watch netflix and iPlayer etc.

How's tunnelling into your network going to make any difference to watching Netflix or iPlayer?
