You definitely can’t configure a French orange livebox. I called them and asked. A flat “Ah non”. I’m pretty sure it won’t let you run a vpn router either. I say this after having bought a good vpn router and spent 3 days talking to support staff from the router manufacturer and vpn operator and none of them could get it working either. They were all mystified and said it was probably being blocked by the ISP. If you want it for your tv, just install the vpn on a mobile (U.K. mobile) and cast it to the tv if you can. So annoying I can’t put it into words.

I’m thinking of installing a vpn router after my modem/router, but instead of using Orange’s Livebox I bought my own compatible modem, so I’m wondering if you try that instead to avoid having to use a Livebox? That said, I only use Orange for internet service via VDSL (no TV channels or VOIP) so if you need the Livebox for either TV or telephone this may not work.

@dpdapper I only need the adsl line from Orange. Which modem did you get?

I have an ASUS DSL N66U but I’m pretty sure that particular model is no longer available.

Orange used to publish a list of compatible modem/routers but a quick search didn’t turn up anything.

I have an Apple TV box connected via wifi and want to install the vpn router. Can’t understand what’s gone wrong, and neither can any of the tech support guys who have tried to help. It’ll probably tip me over the edge, but I’m going to talk to Orange tomorrow and ask if the livebox can be replaced.

I looked on Amazon and, FWIW, the comments say that this modem is compatible with Orange VDSL, but only for internet (i.e., not TV or VOIP provided by Orange).
