OpenVPN

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public networks. This section
explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is an implementation of VPN supported by the RUT routers.
The default OpenVPN Configuration list is empty, so you have to define your own configuration to establish any
sort of OpenVPN connection. OpenVPN configurations can have one of two roles: client and server. Let's start with an
OpenVPN client. To create it, enter the desired instance name in the "New configuration name" field, select the
instance's role from the "Role" drop down list and press the "Add New" button.
Once you've added a new OpenVPN instance there is no need to press the "Save" button, since the "Add New"
button both creates and saves the new instance. By default the instance will be disabled and unconfigured. I order to
establish an OpenVPN connection you must Enable your instance, enter an OpenVPN server address, choose an
authentication method and a few other things, all of which can be configured in the Settings window, which can
reached by pressing the "Edit" button next to your OpenVPN instance (as shown in the figure above).
