This tutorial will show you how to set up a VPN on your Xiaomi router with the L2TP protocol.

Important: L2TP does not offer any encryption and should only be used for anonymization or for changing locations.

The steps below were tested on Mi Wi-Fi. If you are unable to follow the steps below because your device interface looks drastically different, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team for immediate assistance.
