6. Specify how VPN client connections can be used on the access point by selecting
one of the following radio buttons:
• Auto. The access point automatically uses the VPN service only for necessary
access, that is, the access point allows access to sites and services that would not
be accessible without a VPN connection. This is the default selection. However,
if some sites or services are not accessible to the VPN client, or if a user cannot
access some sites on the Internet, select another radio button.
• All sites on the Internet & Home Network. The VPN client can access the Internet
and all sites and services on the access point network, that is, behind the access
point firewall. Accessing the Internet remotely through a VPN connection might
be slower than accessing the Internet directly.
• Home Network only. The VPN client can access all sites and services on the
access point network, that is, behind the access point firewall, but cannot access
the Internet.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. OpenVPN service is enabled on the access point.
Users must install and set up OpenVPN software on their computer or mobile device
before they can establish a VPN connection to the access point.
