Introduction The MTN MT-WN713NM is a popular 4G/LTE CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) router distributed by MTN, primarily based on Huawei chipset technology. It allows multiple devices to connect to the internet via a cellular SIM card. While the device is primarily a gateway, many users require VPN (Virtual Private Network) connectivity to secure remote access to corporate networks, bypass geo-restrictions, or encrypt traffic from ISP monitoring.

This paper examines the router’s VPN capabilities, configuration methods, limitations, and workarounds, as the stock firmware offers only (typically PPTP and L2TP client). Advanced protocols (OpenVPN, WireGuard) require alternative approaches. 2.
