OpenVPN
OpenVPN is an open source virtual private network (VPN) program for creating point-to-point or server-to-multi-client encrypted
tunnels between host computers. It can traverse network address translation (NAT) and firewalls and allows authentication by
certificate, pre-shared key or username and password. OpenVPN works well through proxy servers and can run over TCP and UDP
transports. Support for OpenVPN is available on several operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, NetBSD and QNX.
Configuring an Open VPN server
From the menu at the top of the screen, click Networking and from the VPN section on the left, click OpenVPN. A list of configured
OpenVPN VPN connections is displayed.
Click the +Add button for the type of OpenVPN server/client you would like to configure.
OpenVPN Server
When you select the +Add button to add an OpenVPN server, the router checks whether there are existing server certificates. If no
server certificate is found, you are informed that you must generate a certificate before configuring the OpenVPN server.
Click on the OK button to be taken to the Server certificate page. For more information on generating server certificates, refer to the
Server certificate section of this guide. When you have created the certificate, return to the OpenVPN server configuration page and
continue with the steps below.
To configure an OpenVPN Server:
1.
Click the OpenVPN profile toggle key to switch it to the ON position.
2.
Type a name for the OpenVPN server profile you are creating.
3.
In the Type drop down list, select the OpenVPN connection type (TUN/TAP). Default is TUN.
4.
Use the Server port field to select a port number and then use the drop down list to select a packet type to use for your
OpenVPN Server. The default OpenVPN port is 1194 and default packet type is UDP.
5.
In the VPN network address and VPN network subnet mask fields, enter the IP address and network subnet mask to
assign to your VPN. This is ideally an internal IP address which differs from your existing address scheme.
