2. Select Enable, then complete the following fields:
Enable: Turn OpenVPN Server on/off
•
Local Gateway Address: The Public IP address or DDNS name of the WAN1 interface. We
•
recommend that you use DDNS or BakPakDDNS because if the WAN IP changes, all remote
clients will require new configurations made for them.
OpenVPN Subnet: The IP Subnet used by the OpenVPN connected clients. The OpenVPN
•
clients will connect using their own dedicated IP subnet. This IP subnet cannot overlap with any
of the local LAN or VLAN networks on the router. This is why the default is set to 10.8.0.0. This
should be in IP Subnet notation (with 0 at the end of the address).
Netmask: The subnet mask size to use for the OpenVPN network.
•
Connection Profiles: Each remote client connecting to the routers OpenVPN server will need
•
to have a profile created for them. The profile only requires a name given to it. Then the profile
is downloaded as a configuration file and sent to the device that will be connecting.
Client Name: The name given to that profile. This is only to differentiate between connection
•
profiles.
Configuration: Download the ".ovpn" configuration file for that user. This Configuration file
•
can then be emailed to the device that will be connecting so it can be loaded into the
OpenVPN app and the connection can be made.
Delete: Delete the profile
•
Add New Item: Add new connection profile
•
Apply: Apply the configuration settings.
•
After creating a client profile and downloading the configuration file, you need to load the configuration
file into the OpenVPN program you are using.
Each operating system has its own version of an OpenVPN client. The connecting device will
•
need to download an OpenVPN client (which we have recommendations on below).
