Virtual Private Network (OpenVPN) Setting

This section allows you to configure the router VPN server settings. The VPN server will allow remote clients to establish secure VPN connectivity to your local network through the Internet. First, click the OpenVPN drop-down menu and select Enabled and click Apply to enable VPN. Next, download the appropriate VPN client software for your operating system from https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html, and then install the software on computers you would like to establish VPN connectivity. Under the VPN Client Configuration section, click Export to download the client configuration file(s) required for your VPN client software to establish connectivity to your router. Copy the configuration file(s) to the appropriate VPN client installation folder (installation folder directories below) on your computer. If the exported configuration file is a .zip, please extract the files first and copy them to the VPN client installation folder. Please note that Linux will require you to change the configuration file extension from client.ovpn to client.conf.

Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config
