DEFINING TUNNELS
1. Configure the device server as shown under how to add an OpenVPN Server using TLS (steps 1-14).
2. Open device console, go to /var/config/ovpnccd/openVPNServerName. Create the folder if not present
in the device.
3. Create a file that has the client certificate name with the following information:
a. iroute [Client_Subnet] [Mask]
b. example -- echo "iroute 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0" > mtrClient1
4. For each client, you must create a separate file in the folder /var/config/ovpnccd/yourserverName.
Note: Make the file name the same as the Common Name value used to create the certificate.
5. Configure device client as shown under how to add an OpenVPN Client (steps 1-12).
Once properly configured, you should have a connection between the device server and device client and their
subnets. Your PC can also connect with the device server and thus the device client through that server.
Configuration 3: OpenVPN Tunnel with Static Key Authorization Mode (device server and client)
This third configuration establishes the OpenVPN Tunnel connection from a device client to a device server using
Static Key as Authorization Mode. This involves adding and configuring both OpenVPN Server and Client sides
within the device UI.
When using Static Key, the OpenVPN tunnel is created between only two end-points, the client and server. You
cannot connect more than one client to the server in this mode. Remote Network Route must be specified in both
configurations, client and server, in order to establish the connection between subnets.
To add an OpenVPN Server using Static Key:
1. Go to Tunnels > OpenVPN Tunnels > OpenVPN Tunnel Configuration.
2. Click Add Tunnel.
3. Enter the Name.
4. Select the Type as SERVER from the drop-down.
5. You can also enter an optional Description.
6. Click Next.
7. Enter the following fields (using STATIC KEY as Authorization Mode):
a. Interface Type as TUN from the drop-down.
b. Authorization Mode as STATIC KEY from the drop-down.
c. Protocol as UDP.
d. Local Address as DEFAULT.
e. Port number.
f. Remote Address as DEFAULT.
g. LZO Compression as ADAPTIVE from the drop-down.
h. Hash Algorithm as DEFAULT.
i. Encryption Cipher as DEFAULT.
j. Generate and enter the Static Key PEM (required). Both server and client must use the same static
key. See example below:
-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
