[edit] Hamachi
Hamachi is plug and play VPN, this is probabaly the easisest method of creating a VPN to play games. This is only noted to let you know it exists, you do not require DD-WRT to use it. For more information visit: https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp

How to configure PPTP to play lan games
- Configure the PPTP Server on DD-WRT
- Ensure you enable Broadcast for VPN clients as most games use broadcast for their LAN game browsers
- Configure your PPTP Clients
- Change the Access order of the VPN connection to make it the highest as this can effect many games
Thats it, have fun gaming!
