How to setup VPN on router

My setup is using two router, but you can do it to one router if you don't mind changing out of the vpn on the router. Like I say before I use 2 router and my setup look like this. On the side note someone say installing vpn app on the tvpad works, but you can't cold reboot the tvpad or it will cause the wifi and Ethernet to get buggy, and the only way to fix it is to restore the tvpad and then load all the apps back on it.
Note: You will need some knowledge on how to connect onto your router.
The following ip subnet set is an example. Some knowledge of how to configure IP is needed or seek help from guides that involves on how to configure ip's with routers.
Note: This setup only requires manual ip input on the second router for the VPN as shown in the examples below.
Netgear:
1. set internet login to yes
2. set router to PPTP
3. put in VPN username and password
4. VPN server host name your going to connect to
Linksys:
1. set internet connect type to PPTP
2. set VPN server ip your going to connect to if you don't know what is the ip you can ping the host name
3. set VPN username and password
Note:
If app is not working try to update it using the n+ store because the old app don't know where the new server is.
If some apps don't work put a DNS on the TVPAD seem like some apps only work with host name from tvpad

I made 192.168.1.13 DMZ on the fios router, but doing PPTP still doesn't give me any internet connection on the r6300. I'm using tigervpn.

What do you have for the Custom Configuration box on the bottom?
remote-cert-tls server
reneg-sec 0
Those above shown up in the custom Config after I pasted the "ca.rt" file into the "Content modification of Keys & Certificates."
We have a different VPN provider, so it might be different?
Yes, I used the OpenVPN set up files provided and the PW and login they gave. The important part is to open the "ca.crt" file with a text editor and copy and paste the contents into "Certificate Authority" field. I have IPv6 enabled and have no issue.
1. on the Netgear genie setup, what do you put under "My IP Address" and "Subnet Mask" between step 3 and step 4?
2. On step 4, does the VPN server has to be china, Taiwan or Singapore where the region is not restricted or can it be US servers?
3. Are there any free VPN service that provides username and password for public use? are those good to use or no?
sorry I am a newbie and trying to learn something things here.
