Enable Openvpn Service In The Router - NETGEAR RAX50v2 User Manual

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 the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router 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 Setup > VPN Service.
The VPN 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 131).
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 131).
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.
The default port number for TUN mode is 12973. The TUN port number is used
in the .ovpn file of the OpenVPN configuration software package for Mac and
non-Windows clients.
