I use DD-WRT image on my router (build 14986)

Ny question is can I configure this image to connect directly to my giganews VPN, without opening my pc?

I have tried various options, and I will eventually crack it either way if no one know, but if someone does can they tell me how to do it!!

Depends how do you connect through VPN, what VPN server is on the other end, what VPN implementation DD-WRT supports?

The VPN I use is through giganews, so type in the address, and log in.

Basically I am thinking that if I use a Kryptview Box thats connected to my router, I would like the router to automatically connect to the VPN at all times, so that all traffic is encrypted through giganews.

The DD-WRT image has a VPN option, and uses PPTP for both client and server.

First, I don't have an account at Giganews, second you should try reading some documentation of OpenVPN(which is delivered with DD-WRT). If Giganews uses PPTP or IPsec you should be able co connect it automatically You'll need to configure PPTP client or OpenVPN client accordingly.
