Enable Openvpn Service In The Router - NETGEAR Orbi RBR860 User Manual

If both networks use the same LAN IP scheme, when the VPN tunnel is established, you
cannot access your home router or your home network with the OpenVPN software.
For information about changing the LAN settings on the router, see Change the LAN
TCP/IP settings on page 76.

Enable OpenVPN service in the router

You must enable the OpenVPN service settings in the router before you can use a VPN
connection.
To enable OpenVPN service:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced > VPN Service.
The VPN Service page displays.
Note: The OpenVPN configuration software packages that you can download on
the page are for the VPN client devices (see Install OpenVPN software on a VPN
client on page 115).
5. Select the Enable VPN Service check box.
We recommend that you use the default TUN mode and TAP mode settings. (These
settings determine how VPN information is transferred.) If you know that you need
other settings, you can change the TUN mode and TAP mode settings, but you must
do so before you download and install the OpenVPN configuration software packages
on client devices (see Install OpenVPN software on a VPN client on page 115).
6. To change the TUN mode settings, do the following:
• To change the TUN mode service type, select the UDP or TCP radio button.
The default protocol for TUN mode is UDP.
• To change the TUN mode service port, type the port number that you want to
use in the field.
