Hi,
I know there are a ton of guides on how to do this, but for some reason none of them shows my spesific case. Please see the screenshot of my Router’s VPN configuration page where there are tons of informaiton that needs to be filled. But my vpn provider gives a few codes and some configuration file based on the country the server resides in. I cannot see where and how I can enter these information to enable vpn-ing from the router. Any tips?

There are a few steps you should take to enable VPN on your router.
-
What kind of VPN did you get from your provider? Is it an IPSec or something else. The VPN protocol should match that which is supported by your router.
-
If there is a config file, then you have to extract detailed information from it to insert into your router config page. That is, endpoint address (remote server IP), security configuration and encryption protocols and keys.
-
Most VPN config files could be opened in a text editor such as Notepad or vi or Emacs, etc.
-
If in doubt, or if you have any more questions, you can contact your VPN provider. Their support team can help you get what you are looking for.
can you screenshot the basic tab as well?
Yeah your provider most likely uses openvpn or wireguard.
